What does a delivered ton of cement cost?
For cement the tax line often decides the total: a customer buying for resale or an exempt project pays no sales tax on the line.
| Component | Taxable, per ton | 0% tax line, per ton |
|---|---|---|
| Material (pickup price) | $168.00 | $168.00 |
| Haul | $22.00 | $22.00 |
| Sales tax (9.75% / 0%) | $18.53 | $0.00 |
| Delivered price | $208.53 | $190.00 |

Which units does cement sell in?
Bulk cement is quoted by weight: short tons in the United States, metric tonnes elsewhere.
| Unit | Equals | Or |
|---|---|---|
| 1 short ton (US) | 2,000 lb | 0.907185 t |
| 1 metric tonne | 2,204.62 lb | 1.102311 short tons |
How does Quote360 handle tax on cement?
A rate set on the line wins, so an exempt sale is a 0% line. Otherwise TaxJar calculates sales tax when it is enabled for your company, and a line whose tax cannot be calculated is marked uncalculated rather than guessed.
Questions and answers
- What if a customer is tax-exempt?
- Set the line's tax rate to 0%. A rate set on the line always wins, and Quote360 never applies an exemption it has not been told about.
- Can cement and aggregates go on the same quote?
- Yes. Each material is its own line with its own unit, haul and tax.
