Dear Lesli:


Who Must Register to Collect Tax?
Before you open a business in Florida, you must find out if your business activity, product use, or
consumption will be subject to Florida sales tax. Some government agencies require you to register
with the Department of Revenue before they will issue a license.
Here are some activities that require the collection of sales tax or the payment of use tax:
• Sales of taxable items at retail.
• Repairs or alterations of tangible personal property.
• Rentals, leases, or licenses to use real property (for example, commercial office space, miniwarehouses,
or short-term living accommodations).
• Rentals of short-term living accommodations (for example motel/hotel rooms, beach houses,
condominiums, timeshare resorts, vacation houses, travel parks, etc).
• Rental or lease of personal property (for example, vehicles, machinery, equipment, or other
goods).

Dear Lesli:

Exempt Sales
:
Sales tax dealers are responsible for determining if a
transaction is taxable or exempt. All sales of tangible
personal property to your customers are taxable
unless the items are specifically exempt from tax.
Dealers must maintain documentation to support all
exempt transactions for a minimum of three years.
Examples of proper documentation are:
• Copies of annual resale certificates.
• Copies of certificates of exemption.
• Documents that support shipment of
merchandise to out of state locations.
• Signed statement (as required by law) to
support the exemption.
Items that are specifically exempt from sales and
use tax include but are not limited to medicines,
most services, and most groceries. Food items
are generally exempt from sales tax when sold in
grocery stores to be taken home and prepared.
Some examples of exempt grocery items are milk,
butter, cereal, frozen goods, and canned goods.
Examples of taxable items include soap, paper goods,
cleaning products, and candy. We have a list of the
nontaxable medical and grocery items posted on our
Internet site. Go to the forms and publications site
for sales and use tax and look for “The Nontaxable
Medical and General Grocery List (Form DR-46NT).”
Federal, state, and local governments and qualifying
nonprofit organizations that have been issued a
Consumer’s Certificate of Exemption (Form DR-14),
can purchase items without paying tax. Certificates
of exemption expire every five years. Purchasers
must provide you with a copy of their Consumer’s
Certificate of Exemption; otherwise you should
collect the tax. In addition, payment must be
made with funds of the organization named on the
certificate. Employees of exempt organizations
paying with personal funds are not exempt from
sales tax, even if they will be reimbursed by the
exempt agency.

Is there an easy place that I can see examples of the Sales Tax ID Number for each state? Also, is there a site that you can verify that any given Sales Tax ID is valid? I am from Illinois and I use the IL website to verify my customers' Sales Tax ID in IL but I want to see if there are similar sites for every other site. Thanks!

I own a tanning salon. I have not retailed any products in the last year or two, but now I must collect the new 10% indoor tanning sales tax. I have a Virginia Sales tax registration certificate. I need to know if my certificate is still valid, if this sales tax is to be submitted to the state of VA or the IRS, and how to obtain the forms to submit the tax. I assume, if this is to be treated as VA sales tax, it would be submitted quarterly to the state?

Dear Janice:

Thanks for choosing InfoTaxSquare.com for your business needs. Paying 10% excise tax  on tanning services law is enforced by Internal Revenue Service. To check the validity of your sales tax registration certificate you have to contact to your state and to check whether you fall under this category or not please contact to your tax adviser.
