Do you have to pay Florida sales tax if you are a resident of another state purchasing a used car in Florida?

The answer is - it depends, but the answer is somewhat complicated. If you have the car shipped directly from the dealer to your home state, then no Florida sales tax applies. Let's presume you are driving the car off the lot yourself. Florida will charge you sales tax on this purchase, but if the right paperwork is filled out (Form DR-123), then the sales tax rate will only be as high your home state sale tax rate (with a ceiling of the Florida sales tax rate). So if you live in a state with a 3% sales tax, the Florida dealer should only charge you a 3% sales tax if you sign the right forms. Any sales tax you pay in Florida can be credited to the taxes that are due when you get your tag in your home state. Worthy of note, if your state has a zero sales tax rate on cars (such as Montana or Georgia), then the dealer does not have to charge you Florida sales tax.
I'm a Florida CPA & Attorney that does almost nothing but Florida sales and use tax controversy. I hope this answer helps.

Being a resident of Alaska do you have to pay sales tax in California?
Yes you do. Just because you are a resident of Alaska does not make you exempt from any kind of sales tax. If you go to another city, state, country, or whatever, you MUST abide by their laws. If California has sales tax, then you must pay it if you want to shop there. However, shopping in Seattle, Alaska residents do not have to pay their sales tax if you let the clerk know you are an Alaska resident, show your valid ID, and fill out a form giving your name, driver's license number, and contact information.
