More questions about Brevard County: It seems whatever office I go I get different answers…

Matt Farabaugh started the topic Outside of NY, can I sell to NY online? in the forum New York 9 years, 3 months ago
I have a food product I’d like to make myself and sell. I’m from New York, but I live in Shanghai most of the year. I’m not sure how to sell in Shanghai (a topic for another post), but I’m wondering whether it would be possible to sell foods internationally to customers in New York (and California) via the internet.
Thanks!

Actually candy may be one of the only items for which you do need to charge sales tax. For some reason, most categories, like baked goods, are exempt, but candies often specifically require sales tax. At least that is true in other areas of the country. I’m not entirely sure for your area and your situation.

In Florida, an inspection can only happen if a customer has a health concern/complaint. I have never heard of that happening to any CFO across the states… at the very least, it’s exceedingly rare.

I need some clarification about taking orders…. it states “direct sales only”
Does that really mean just “in-person”? We can’t take orders through website, FB or even email? -

Hello! I’m new! I’ve been making cake pops for 3 years out of my home to friends and family and I’m not expanding and making everything legit. I pretty much have everything in order for all I need to get done. The biggest confusion was sales tax for me. Every other baker I know in FL and in my area charges sales tax but I read here on this site…[Read more]

Often sales tax is required at a local level and exempted at a state level, but I’ve heard a lot of different things about Florida. You might be able to call up the Department of Revenue, talk to a different person, and get a different answer. However, it seems like the person you talked to knows what they’re talking about. Here’s one person’s…[Read more]

It’s quite possible that that’s all accurate info, and it’s also possible that they are making guesses. Ultimately, you need to get whatever they determine you need to get. I think you could start by bringing a copy of the law and making sure they are completely familiar with it. You could also contact nearby counties to see how they are handling…[Read more]

FL specifically prohibits online sales, so I take that to mean that money can only trade hands in-person. You might be able to take pre-orders online, without collecting money.
