What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chem Dry's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, taxes on equipment purchased are due at the time of order. This means that when a franchisee purchases equipment from Chem Dry, they must pay the applicable taxes at the same time they place the order for the equipment.
This requirement ensures that Chem Dry collects and remits sales taxes to the appropriate taxing authorities in a timely manner. For a prospective franchisee, this means budgeting not only for the equipment's price but also for the immediate tax obligations. Failing to account for these taxes could lead to a shortfall in funds needed to start the franchise.
Furthermore, franchisees are responsible for paying and filing all taxes, fees, and similar charges related to the equipment, including sales or use tax, ad valorem, and personal property taxes, when they are due throughout the term of the franchise agreement. This ongoing responsibility highlights the importance of proper financial management and compliance with local tax laws for Chem Dry franchisees.
