By Laura Leslie. Raleigh, N.C. â Car repairs, home improvement jobs and appliance delivery and installation got a little more expensive in North Carolina on Tuesday. State and local sales tax is now collected on some labor charges. In Wake County, that's an extra 6.75 percent for a mechanic's time or the installation fees charged by Home Depot, Lowe's Home Improvement and others.
The use tax is also due on taxable services sourced to North Carolina. The use tax is paid to the North Carolina Department of Revenue by the purchaser when the North Carolina tax has not been collected by the retailer.
