The sales tax is paid in the state where the vehicle is purchased. If the purchase state is Maine, sales tax there is 5.5%. You then have to pay to FL the difference between the 5.5% and the FL state sales tax of 6% and an additional county tax (both Marion and Sumter) of 1%. For example if you pay $25k for the car Maine charges you $1,375 and FL charges you $375. If you buy in a state with equal or greater sales tax % you pay nothing to FL.
