In my case, I live in Florida. I know how it works if I transact with a local dealer for a new or used car. However, what happens if I go through a dealer in a different state (like one of the fine sponsors we have on this site) or a private seller for a used vehicle. I can't believe that I give the sales tax to the private seller and they then give it to the local authorities. Is it as simple as me taking the Bill of Sale to the local DMV or Tax Collector to register the car and having to pay them the amount deemed appropriate? That sort of worries me too on a used car - how do they set the amount of tax owed on a used car (sale price, book value, original MSRP )? Any Florida members around with personal experience that can help me sort this out?

Thanks!
