Good Lord ya'll will argue about everything!!!
Let me say this....Please don't go out of your way to try to pay unnecessary taxation and invite the government to decide because you'll be on their RADAR.
I know for fact that you need a tax account with the state to remit tax monies you have collected. I have such account in the state I sell things in at a store. When I pay the collected taxes I have to actually tell the state what I am sending them......so if you buy a golf car out of someone's garage and they want taxation then you should decline unless they produce their Tax License. If they are "in business" they will send the taxation to the state, but if not they'll keep the extra 7%. Now if you chose to insist on remitting taxation to the state, you will have to create a Tax Account with Florida and report, quarterly to the state, your sales and they'll expect payments. Now if you really pursue paying tax you'll also evoke the IRS on yourself and the person that sold you the golf car, even if no tax was collected. Next time just buy the golf car and don't advertise it on social media to protect yourself. The current administration in DC wants to tax us having yardsales and the like. People mentioned eBay IRS reporting. Its a concern having had an eBay store....but that bill has stalled in congress. eBay keeps and sends the sales tax. It's all under the guise that they want to catch large, untaxed, money transfers to/from our bank accounts. It's total BS. If they want to catch the real crime....drug traffickers and sex traffickers, they only need to hit Cashapp and other venues that folks that can't use Banks use. Government is too big....period.
I'm voting on not worrying about paying sales tax from a private sale and keep it to yourselves. Apparently they want your cash and you want their golf car....done
