Selected fees
Gross Sales includes invoiced labor, materials, and qualifying vendor or subcontractor services, including amounts paid directly by customers or insurers. Separately stated sales tax is excluded if paid to the tax authority. Annual minimums depend on territory population and years of operation.
This required Strategic Marketing Plan contribution funds shared marketing. The cap applies per franchise or commonly majority-owned franchises in contiguous territories and adjusts with inflation.
