Sales tax is collected by the state. In a private sale, the state is not involved. In a business sale, the state is involved because it licensed the business. The best course of action is too retain the sales tax in a small box, in case the state comes looking for it, that way you have it ready to pay them. I have several of these small boxes, that I store in different locations, so if the the state people find one, they don't find the others. Has worked well for me so far.
