Per the Florida Department of revenue, since EBAY does not charge taxes on Florida sales unless you build it on your tax table, it still must be paid. We had not built a tax for Florida because they are a destination state and have multiple taxes. So, their office representative stated that we could do it two ways when an invoice is not requested because the buyer pays upon bid win. Method 1 is to charge the least destination tax and the seller pays out of pocket. Method 2 is to charge the max and refund the buyer, then claim it as an allowed Florida deduction. Method 3, if you can invoice is to put the exact required tax on the tax table for each sale, and like EBAY says, state in the description that you charge tax. The Florida Department If Revenue has already collected taxes from us this year. This is their state law. It only takes one customer bragging how a seller didn’t charge him tax for a local business to turn it in. We are licensed in several states. There are only about 5 states that don’t have STATE sales tax.
