This should be reported to the state. It is a crime. I'll bet you a dollar that the business did not send the $1.40 to the state.
A few years ago, a friend of mine was offered a 7 percent discount on a $10,000 diamond ring from a local, "reputable" jeweler if he would provide an out-of-state address. The jeweler said that he would send an empty box to the out-of-state address, and claim that he had sold the ring to an out-of-state customer. Apparently, Florida doesn't do much enforcement of their sales tax laws.
