    Would it not be sensible to email or call Xotic instead of posting on here?

    Yes it would be more sensible, they would be more than happy to tell you.

    You can also send a PM to any user here from xoticPC like justin@xoticPC

    The lovely idiosyncrascies of our taxes. Got to love them.

    Anyway, in general, you only get charged online tax if the company you're buying from maintains a physical location in the state you're sending it to.

    For example, I live in California. When I order from GenTechPC, I get hit by the abominable ~8.75% sales tax. However, if I were to order from Xotic, who are not in California, I could skip out on that.

    Since you live in Florida, you wouldn't get taxed by either reseller.

    Ah but technically you should declare it (As I understand it very few people do) in your tax returns anyway.
