Because they do more than 2 a year and are a legitimate business that makes a profit on their work. When I rented out my Village home for a couple of years (less than 6 month lease), I registered with FL and collected sales tax and submitted it to the state within the month after the tenant moved out. I’m going to guess if your buy old furniture, fix and refinish it and sell it, you would collect sales tax and also pay some income tax. Probably the same as if you sold golf carts out of your driveway. So buying the used golf cart from your neighbor, no title and they are not in the business of selling golf carts, no sales tax is collected.
