Do you pay sales tax on cabinets in Florida?

As a CPA & Attorney that specializes in sales tax, you can take this answer to the bank. If you are selling and installing cabinets, then you are NOT allowed to charge sales tax to your customers. You are improving real property and it is outside the scope of sales tax. However, you have to pay USE TAX on your "cost price" of materials and shop labor (not field labor). It is complicated, but you should build in the use tax into your bid, but you may not charge sales tax as a separate line item to your customers. Any customers you charge sales tax in this type of job will be entitled to a right to a refund of the sales tax. If you are merely selling the cabinets (without installing), then you have to charge sales tax unless the customer can provide you with an exemption certificate from the FL DOR (such as a church). If you are merely installing cabinets (without selling the cabinets), then there is no sales tax. Installation labor is beyond the scope of sales tax. If you have been handling this wrong, then I'd be glad to discuss how to correct the matter in the past and going forward. JamesSutton@FloridaSalesTax.com or www.FloridaSalesTax.com.

Typically sales tax is paid at the point of sale, hence the name. But depending on the state there are exceptions.

Most of the state income tax forms have a method provided for paying sales tax along with the state income tax.
