Sales Tax Question New York
Not sure about NY either, but I'm a Michigan contractor who worked in Mississippi and they do charge tax on labor and are quite serious about collecting it too. Michigan is trying to tax certian industries, generally service type things along with entertainment---you know: the "money grab" routine.
A simple call to your state's dept of treasury about taxation would clear that up in a hurry. They may find out this guy is defrauding people and keeping the extra $ for himself.

Sales Tax Question New York
Kenny. Kenny. Kenny.
Harvey hit the nail on head and said it in a more politically correct way.
If tax IS collected---either "accidentally", or because it was "easier" or "simpler" paperwork-wise, or otherwise such as fraud-- and no one from the State is standing there with their hand out saying "you owe us" where do you think that "tax" goes? It surely doesn't get returned to the taxee nor sent to the Feds --it goes right in the pocket of the seller.
The Arabs in this part of the country, of which I'm well acquainted who own the majority of stores from food to gas to furniture, were running scams doing just that.
And here's something to think about too: years ago I had a joint-venture plastics manufacturing business which sold retail. Under my state's sales tax laws I had to collect sales tax. Oddly though when my taxes were prepared by a CPA, and I lost the business, that collected tax was considered "income". However, in short, that income which included the collected tax ended up falling short of my needing to paying taxes (no profit) and became a total business loss for me. Bottom line, all the tax I collected was legally written off and I did not have to send any to the state. True story. My business loss was a genuine situation---but that said, how many schemers and con-men are out there that fold up shop and never pay taxes at all?
And yes, I'm jis' sayin'...

Kenny no bubbles to burst here, bud. No offense either 
Wasn't it KWSchumm that suggested the lace? (I thought it was you originally) No biggie. No sunscreens needed 'round here, or even down there it turns out. The fiberglass canopy turned out to be more than adequate. And driving in circles---wow--I have been fighting an inner ear infection so if I even look to the right I get dizzy---and that's just sitting at the dinner table.
