I think that is illegal, tax must be broken out on the contract. Needless to say, I didn't buy from him.

Sort of related. In the old days some people had a cash business. Of course everyone is honest but they would end up with what I call suitcase money. Un-taxed money that they can't show. A friend who has/had a retail store told me due to credit card rebates etc, there is very little cash in businesses.

When, you go into a store and they have a sign minimum for a credit card ?????
The reason is the credit card charges them say 2%. Assuming their profit is 10%.
That 2% which is on the gross amount is 2.00 on $100 20% of the profit.

Having a business in Fl for a number of years in my opinion. Goods purchased or products if install us included all will.be taxed if separate you may bypass taxes. There us a different tax base if home improvement.
