John, do you realize that you owe that tax no matter whether Heritage collects in on behalf of the state or not? The tax has nothing to do with Heritage having an office in Florida or not. When you buy something from Heritage or Sterling (your example), you are obligated to pay the same tax. It is just that you have to submit the payment directly yourself.
