Sales taxes on luxury goods are often easy to avoid. When I bought an engagement ring, the jeweler offered to ship an empty box to Florida in order to avoid my states sales tax.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoThat is not tax avoidance, that is tax evasion (former is legal, latter is illegal). Pretty much all states with sales taxes require residents to pay "sales and use tax" on items purchased out of state that have been brought into the state for the amount of sales tax that would have been paid had it been purchased within the state. https://floridarevenue.com/taxes/taxesfees/pages/sales_tax.aspx https://floridarevenue.com/taxes/taxesfees/pages/sales_tax.a... Florida used to allow online businesses not based in florida to forego collecting sales tax when shipping to florida (but it was always owed as use tax by the Florida resident recipient), but starting last year, businesses with more than $100k of online sales had to start collecting and remitting sales taxes also.
