Florida Sales Tax
I bought an airplane from a guy in Georgia. I sent in my FAA registration. Will the state / county where I live in Florida send me a bill at some point for sales tax?

They sent me one shortly after I registered my kit. I think they check the registrations frequently, so would expect a bill.

Make sure your paperwork has the correct sale amount. :rolleyes: |
that's why all my aircraft are bought and sold in texas.

I would call them
as if you wait for them to bill you, you may find a "penalty" attached for late payment. I do not have the phone number or the woman's name at hand or I would include it for you. Several months after my purchase, I was sent a bill with a late fee included. Fortunately, I had the carbon of the check I had written them at the time of purchase. They apparently never received it and I never paid attention to see if it cleared. I sent a photocopy of the carbon with another check for the original amount and they removed the penalty.

Be Proactive
This info should help. I have always filled out the from and sent it in before they contact me. They have never questioned my figures.

Paid the tax man
Thanks for the great advice everyone. Sure enough, I owed Florida 6% of the purchase price and Polk County 1% on the first 5K. Ouch! And, I had to have it in by the 20th to avoid paying a 10% penalty. The only strange thing was the form said they wanted a bill of sale other than the FAA form. That's the only bill of sale I have so they'll have to make do. I'm sure they'll let me know if that isn't sufficient but I'm betting they'll just be happy to have my money!
Thanks again everyone! |
