The North Miami material-tax file shows taxable construction purchases of $118,000 and documented tax-paid purchases of $98,000. What status should be reported?

Correct Answer

A) use-tax review

If tax-paid support is less than taxable purchase exposure, the contractor should review use-tax exposure.

Answer Options
A
use-tax review
B
lien timing review regulatory calendar entry
C
qualifier update statutory review note
D
permit closeout agency response log

Why This Is the Correct Answer

If tax-paid support is less than taxable purchase exposure, the contractor should review use-tax exposure.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: lien timing review regulatory calendar entry

lien timing review regulatory calendar entry puts the item in the wrong financial bucket, timing, base, or comparison for use tax support.

Option C: qualifier update statutory review note

qualifier update statutory review note puts the item in the wrong financial bucket, timing, base, or comparison for use tax support.

Option D: permit closeout agency response log

permit closeout agency response log puts the item in the wrong financial bucket, timing, base, or comparison for use tax support.

Memory Technique

Tax-Paid and less live in different drawers; Controller Reviews tells which opens.

Reference Hint

Open-book path: tab Florida Statutes Chapter 212; Florida Department of Revenue Sales and Use Tax on Building Contractors to Florida DOR GT-800007, Contractor sales and use tax records; verify the Florida rule, deadline, or compliance record before answering.
