Florida charges sales tax on a very few services, however, if tangible personal property is given to the client in the performance of services, then the whole service can be subject to sales tax. It is a tricky area of Florida sales tax law. Below is a link to a detailed article that spells out what services are subject to sales tax and how to what out for the "might be taxable" scenarios. http://www.floridasalestax.com/Florida-Tax-Law-Blog/2012/May/WHAT-SERVICES-ARE-SUBJECT-TO-SALES-TAX-IN-FLORID.aspx
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.
