Florida marketplace sales still need a direct-sales check
A Florida seller using a marketplace should still separate marketplace-collected sales from direct sales, local surtax, exemption papers, and Revenue account records.
A marketplace can collect Florida tax on one sale and still leave the seller with work on the next.
When the marketplace collects and sends the tax on a sale it handles, the seller does not collect that same tax again. A direct sale is a different matter. An order from the seller’s own site, a booth, a local pickup, or an invoice may still leave the seller with tax work.
Keep the two piles apart. Save the delivery address, tax shown, invoice, refund, site report, and any resale or tax-free paper. The site report should back up the sales that the seller leaves out of its own taxable-sales total.
This helps craft sellers, online shops, market vendors, used-goods sellers, and small brands that sell in more than one way. A site dashboard can help. It may not show what happened away from that site.
Before sales spread too far, check Florida Revenue’s marketplace guide and sign-up page. If you make taxable Florida sales away from the marketplace, do not assume its account covers your sales.
