Who has Registered Their Custom Built Boat in Florida?
Posted: Sat May 12, 2012 10:37 pm
Hello,
I plan to register my FS14 in Florida as that will be it's primary place of use. I was told that the process of getting the boat registered involves me presenting my receipts for materials, etc. That makes me wonder WHY they need to see receipts...AND, maybe that is because they want to make sure SALES TAX has been paid on the materials?? Maybe I"m paranoid.
My question for those who have registered their boat/s in florida, did you have to pay sales tax on the materials that you ordered from out of state and DID NOT pay sales tax? What was the reason for the tax collector/tag office needing to see the receipts? Where there other costs to register your boat beyond the usual fees according to the boat's length, etc?
Thanks!
