I am correct, according to the CPA and the Florida Department of Revenue. It is no more voluntary than volunteering to pay Federal Income Tax.
Case in point: Ordering cheap leather gloves and forklift seats online from an out of state seller. The FDOR auditor caught it and said we had to pay the use tax plus the penalty and our CPA agreed with him so IDK?? Maybe Florida is different?
Or maybe a business is different than personal. If it were voluntary then why would the State Have a week of Amnesty and further why would there be a penalty??
I am blonde but I catch on pretty fast. Tax & penalty!!
