The sale of a dishwasher is taxable. The install labor charged when purchasing a dishwasher would also be subject to sales tax. If you purchased install services from a third party that provided no tangible personal property during the installation, then there would be no sales tax on those services. One practical exception - When you purchase a new home and it includes a dishwasher, then this generally is ignored by the taxing authority (the FL DOR expects the general contractor to pay the tax).

The reason for the tax is that the dishwasher is very easily removed with no damage to the house. So it is still considered tangible personal property after it is installed. If we were talking about a home appliance that was more permanently attached to the home, then the appliance and install services would not be subject to sales tax. In other words, real property improvements are not subject to sales tax but tangible personal property sales (and install labor sold with the property) is subject to tax.

I am a CPA/Attorney that does almost nothing but Florida sales and use tax controversy. I hope this answer helps.

Will you have to pay sales tax on a vehicle moving from West Virginia to Florida?

Yes, when you move a vehicle from West Virginia to Florida, you will typically have to pay sales tax in Florida upon registering the vehicle. Florida generally charges sales tax based on the purchase price of the vehicle. However, if you can provide proof of sales tax already paid in West Virginia, you may be eligible for a credit to reduce the amount owed in Florida. Always check with the local tax authority for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
