What Is Florida Sales Tax — and Who Has to Collect It?
Florida sales tax is a transaction tax collected at the point of sale on the retail sale, lease, or rental of most tangible personal property and certain services. If your business sells goods or provides taxable services in Florida, state law requires you to collect this tax from customers and remit it to the Florida Department of Revenue (DOR) on a regular schedule.
The statewide rate is 6%. Most Florida counties add a discretionary surtax on top of that, making the effective combined rate between 6% and 8.5% depending on where the transaction happens.
Any business that sells taxable goods or services, rents commercial property, or has nexus in Florida must register with the DOR. Nexus can be physical (store, office, warehouse) or economic (over $100,000 in Florida sales to Florida customers in the prior calendar year). Out-of-state sellers with Florida customers are not exempt. Ver guía DOR sobre nexus remoto →
Florida has no state income tax, which often surprises new business owners. The state funds a large share of its budget through sales tax — so the DOR enforces compliance aggressively. Audits are not rare, and penalties for underpayment or late filing add up fast.

Let Us Handle It →Florida Sales Tax Rate: State + County Surtax Explained
The 6% State Rate
Florida imposes a 6% sales tax on the retail sale price of tangible personal property. This rate applies statewide and has been stable for decades. It funds state services and is remitted entirely to Tallahassee through your DR-15 filing.
County Discretionary Surtax (0% – 2.5%)
Each of Florida's 67 counties can add a surtax on top of the state 6%. These are voted on by county commissioners or residents and change periodically. Most populous counties sit at 0.5% or 1%.
The county surtax applies only to the first $5,000 of the sale price per single item. For transactions above $5,000 per item — common in equipment, vehicle, or machinery purchases — only the first $5,000 is subject to the surtax. The 6% state tax still applies to the full amount.

What Is Taxable in Florida — and What Isn't
Florida's sales tax rules are specific. Getting this wrong is one of the most common reasons businesses end up owing back taxes during a DOR audit.
| Item or Service | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Retail goods / merchandise | Taxable | Furniture, electronics, clothing, supplies |
| Restaurant meals / prepared food | Taxable | Any food sold ready to eat |
| Commercial cleaning services | Taxable | Office, warehouse, retail cleaning |
| Commercial rent (leases) | Exempt since Oct 2025 | Florida eliminated this tax effective Oct 1, 2025 |
| Amusement / admissions | Taxable | Theme parks, concerts, movie tickets |
| Software / digital goods | Check DOR | Evolving — confirm for your use case |
| Unprepared groceries | Exempt | Food for home preparation |
| Prescription drugs | Exempt | Medical equipment also exempt |
| Residential rent (6+ months) | Exempt | Short-term / vacation rentals are taxable |
| Professional services | Exempt | Legal, accounting, consulting, medical |
| Resale items (with DR-13) | Exempt | Must have valid Florida Resale Certificate |
| Residential cleaning | Exempt | But commercial cleaning IS taxable |
| Salon / beauty services | Exempt | Services only — products sold are taxable |
Residential cleaning is exempt. Commercial cleaning is taxable. If you clean both and do not separate them on your invoices, the DOR will treat your entire revenue as taxable during an audit. Always itemize commercial vs. residential services on every invoice.

How to File and Pay Florida Sales Tax — DR-15 Step by Step
Florida requires most registered businesses to file Form DR-15 electronically through the DOR's e-Services portal. Paper filing is allowed but not recommended — e-filing reduces errors and earns you a small collection allowance.
Filing Frequency — Based on Annual Tax Collected
New businesses default to monthly for the first year. After 12 months the DOR assigns frequency based on actual collections.
Register with the Florida DOR
Go to floridarevenue.com and register for a Florida Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration. You'll receive a Certificate number you'll use on every DR-15. Registration is free.
Collect Tax on Every Taxable Sale
Add the correct combined rate (state + county) to your invoices. The rate is based on the delivery address of the goods, not your business location. Selling to a customer in Tampa? Use the Hillsborough rate (7.5%). Shipping to Sarasota? Use Sarasota's rate (6.5%).
Keep Accurate, Categorized Records
The DOR can audit you up to 3 years back — and 5 years if fraud is suspected. Keep every invoice, resale certificate, exemption certificate, and bank statement. Clean, categorized records are your best protection in the event of a DOR review.
Log In and Complete the DR-15
Through the Florida DOR's updated e-Services portal, enter your total taxable sales, exempt sales, and tax collected. The form calculates what you owe. You can claim the collection allowance (2.5% of tax due, up to $30/month) for paying on time.
Pay by the 20th — Every Period
Payment is due by the 20th of the month following your reporting period. If the 20th falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline moves to the next business day. Late payments trigger a 10% penalty on the amount due, minimum $50.
Florida migrated to a new eServices File & Pay portal on December 1, 2025. If you last filed before this date, your old credentials do not carry over. Log in with your certificate number to set up access to the new system. Visit apps.floridarevenue.com/eservices or see floridarevenue.com/taxes/filepayinfo for setup instructions. (TIP 25A01-16)
Florida rewards timely filers. You can keep 2.5% of the sales tax you owe as a collection allowance — calculated on the first $1,200 of tax due, up to a maximum of $30 per filing period. If you owe $2,000 in tax, the allowance is still capped at $30, not 2.5% of $2,000. Not large, but it adds up over a year — and it's free for doing what you were already required to do. (Source: DR-15 Instructions, R. 01/25)
Penalties for Not Filing or Paying Florida Sales Tax
Penalty rules governed by Florida Statute §212.12.
If you're behind on sales tax filings, Florida's Voluntary Disclosure Program (VDP) allows businesses to come forward proactively and reduce or eliminate back penalties. You typically pay the tax owed plus limited interest, but penalty abatement is substantial. The program is available online at floridarevenue.com. We help clients navigate this process — reach out if you're behind.
5 Mistakes That Trigger a Florida Sales Tax Audit
The Florida DOR's audit rate for businesses is higher than most states. These are the patterns that put businesses on their radar.
If your books show a lump-sum revenue number with no breakdown between taxable and exempt transactions, auditors will apply the full sales tax rate to everything. Itemize every invoice — commercial vs. residential, taxable services vs. exempt.
If a customer hands you a DR-13 resale certificate, "good faith" means you verified it was valid — not just accepted it. Use the DOR's online Certificate Verification tool. It takes 30 seconds per customer.
Tax is owed based on the delivery location, not where your business is registered. A Miami business delivering to Hillsborough County owes 7.5%, not Miami-Dade's 7%. One wrong rate across hundreds of invoices adds up fast.
One late filing triggers a 10% penalty. Two or three in a row flags your account for manual review. The DOR tracks filing consistency — repeat lateness is one of the most reliable audit triggers in Florida.
Florida use tax mirrors the sales tax rate and applies to goods bought out of state or tax-free online and used in Florida. If you bought $4,000 of supplies from an out-of-state vendor who didn't charge Florida tax, you owe the DOR use tax on that purchase. Routinely uncovered during audits.

Each city below has its own dedicated guide with the local combined rate, filing requirements, industry-specific rules, and step-by-step instructions for that county. Click your city to get the exact rate and compliance checklist that applies to your business.
Clean Books Are Your Sales Tax Audit Shield
Every sales tax audit starts the same way: the auditor asks for your sales records. Businesses with clean, categorized books typically close audits fast — often with zero adjustment. Businesses with commingled revenue, missing invoices, or unexplained deposits face estimated assessments that almost always come out higher than reality.
Commercial Rent in Florida — Tax Eliminated as of October 2025
Florida has permanently eliminated the sales tax on commercial real property rentals. As of October 1, 2025, businesses no longer owe sales tax on office space, retail space, warehouse space, or storage unit leases. This applies to both the state portion and all county surtaxes. Florida was the only state in the U.S. that taxed commercial rent — that distinction is now gone.
For years, Florida landlords were required to collect and remit sales tax on commercial lease payments — a burden that added thousands of dollars annually to the cost of doing business in the state. That ended on October 1, 2025, when a phased legislative reduction that started in 2023 reached zero.
What changed — before and after
| Period | State Rate | County Surtax | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Before Dec 2023 | 5.5% | Yes | Taxable |
| Dec 2023 – Sep 2025 | 4.5% → 2% | Yes (phasing out) | Phasing out |
| October 1, 2025 — present | 0% | None | ✓ Exempt |
What this means for your business
If you are a tenant: You should no longer be paying sales tax on your commercial lease. If your landlord is still charging it on invoices dated after October 1, 2025, that is an error — request a corrected invoice.
If you are a landlord: Stop collecting and remitting sales tax on commercial lease payments effective October 1, 2025. Any payments received after that date for rent periods starting after that date are exempt. Payments received after October 1, 2025 for pre-October periods still required reporting and remittance.
This change only applies to commercial real property. Long-term residential rentals (leases of 6 months or more) were already exempt and remain so. Short-term rentals (vacation rentals, Airbnb) are still taxable under separate Tourist Development Tax rules.
Florida Sales Tax Filing: Comparing Your Options
Not sure whether to handle filing yourself, use software, or hire someone? Here's how the main options compare for a small Florida business owner.
| Feature | Outsourcing Processing Financial Guidance Service |
Tax Software e.g. TaxJar / Avalara |
Local CPA Traditional accountant |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting price | From $79/month | From $19–$99/month | $150–$400+ per filing |
| DR-15 prepared & guided | ✓ Included | Partial (you still file) | ✓ Yes (billed separately) |
| Financial organization from bank statements | ✓ Included | ✗ No | Varies / extra cost |
| All 67 Florida counties | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes (software-calculated) | Depends on the CPA |
| Bilingual support (EN/ES) | ✓ Yes | ✗ No | Rarely |
| Audit preparedness support | ✓ Included | ✗ No | ✓ Yes (billed hourly) |
| VDP (Voluntary Disclosure) | ✓ Guided | ✗ No | ✓ Yes |
| Response time | Same business day | Help center / ticket | 2–5 business days |
Prices as of 2026. Tax software pricing varies by transaction volume. CPA pricing varies by firm and market.
Florida Sales Tax Nexus: What E-Commerce & Online Sellers Must Know
If you sell online, nexus determines whether you're required to collect Florida sales tax from Florida customers — even if your business isn't physically located in Florida.
Physical Nexus
You have physical nexus in Florida if your business has a presence here: a store, office, warehouse, employee, or sales representative operating in the state. Physical nexus has always existed under Florida law.
Economic Nexus (Effective July 1, 2021 — Florida Statute §212.0596)
Florida enacted economic nexus rules effective July 1, 2021. You must register and collect Florida sales tax if, in the prior calendar year, you made more than $100,000 in sales to Florida customers in the prior calendar year. Florida uses only the revenue threshold first.
If you sell through Amazon, Etsy, eBay, or similar platforms, they are "marketplace facilitators" under Florida law and are required to collect and remit Florida sales tax on your behalf on those sales. You generally do not owe Florida sales tax separately on those transactions — but you must still track them to monitor your own nexus thresholds if you sell through other channels too.
Use Tax — The Most Overlooked Florida Obligation
Florida use tax is the flip side of sales tax. If you buy goods or supplies from an out-of-state vendor who doesn't charge Florida sales tax — common with online orders and out-of-state wholesale purchases — you owe Florida use tax at the same combined rate as sales tax on those items. Use tax is reported on the same DR-15 form under line 7. It's one of the most commonly missed obligations and a frequent audit finding, especially for contractors and retailers who purchase inventory or supplies online.
A Miami-Dade restaurant orders $3,000 of kitchen supplies from a Texas supplier who charges no Florida sales tax. The restaurant owes Florida use tax: 7% × $3,000 = $210, reported on their next DR-15. Missing this is an automatic audit finding if the DOR cross-references your 1099-K or business purchase records.
Tourist Development Tax (Florida "Bed Tax") — Short-Term Rentals
If your business rents residential property for six months or less — vacation rentals, Airbnb, VRBO, hotel rooms, or motel rooms — you owe more than just the standard Florida sales tax.
Florida counties are authorized to levy a Tourist Development Tax (TDT), commonly called the "bed tax," on top of the regular combined sales tax. Rates vary by county and can add 2% to 6% to the total tax burden on each short-term rental.
| County | Sales Tax | Tourist Dev. Tax | Total on Short-Term Rental |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miami-Dade | 7.00% | 6.00% | 13.00% |
| Broward | 7.00% | 6.00% | 13.00% |
| Palm Beach | 6.50% | 6.00% | 12.50% |
| Orange (Orlando) | 6.50% | 6.00% | 12.50% |
| Hillsborough (Tampa) | 7.50% | 5.00% | 12.50% |
| Monroe (Key West) | 7.50% | 5.00% | 12.50% |
| Collier (Naples) | 7.00% | 5.00% | 12.00% |
| Pinellas (St. Pete) | 7.00% | 6.00% | 13.00% |
Airbnb and VRBO collect and remit Florida state sales tax on your behalf in most counties — but Tourist Development Tax collection varies significantly by county. Some counties have direct collection agreements with these platforms; others require the host to register and remit TDT separately with the County Tax Collector. Always verify with your county before assuming the platform handles it all.
What Florida Business Owners Say
Real feedback from small business owners across Florida who handle sales tax compliance with Outsourcing Processing.
"I own a restaurant in Miami and had no idea I was calculating sales tax wrong on my takeout orders. They caught the error, filed an amended DR-15, and now handle everything monthly. Saved me a lot of stress."
"Running a salon I always thought the tax stuff was more complicated than it needed to be. They separated my product sales from my services and I stopped overpaying. Wish I had found them sooner."
"Small retail shop, I do everything myself. They handle the DR-15 every month and I get a simple summary. Hasn't been late once. At $79 a month it's honestly the easiest expense I have."
"We sell online and had no idea we owed Florida sales tax on those orders. They caught it before the DOR did, helped us file a Voluntary Disclosure, and now everything is clean. Saved us a lot of stress and money."
"I lease two commercial spaces and did not realize I owed sales tax on the rent I collect. They got my filings straight and explained the whole thing clearly in Spanish. Very professional team."
"My cleaning company does both residential and commercial clients. I never invoiced them separately and got flagged in an audit. Outsourcing Processing restructured everything, fixed the back-filing, and now every invoice is correct. Worth every penny."
Florida Sales Tax — Frequently Asked Questions
Florida's statewide sales tax rate is 6%. Most counties add a discretionary surtax between 0.5% and 2.5%, making the combined rate typically 6.5% to 7.5%. Miami-Dade and Broward are both 7%. Hillsborough (Tampa) is 7.5%. Orange County (Orlando) is 6.5%. Always use the rate for the delivery location, not your business address.
File and pay using Form DR-15 through the Florida DOR's e-Services portal at floridarevenue.com. Most businesses file monthly or quarterly. Payment must be received by the 20th of the month following the reporting period. E-filing earns you a collection allowance (2.5% of tax owed, up to $30 per period).
Most unprepared groceries are exempt from Florida sales tax — items like raw meat, packaged food, produce, and most drinks you buy from a grocery store to prepare at home. Prepared food sold ready for immediate consumption — restaurant meals, hot deli food, concession stands, and most catered meals — is taxable at the full combined rate.
Most pure beauty services — haircuts, styling, facials, massages, manicures — are NOT taxable in Florida. However, products sold at the salon (shampoo, color products, nail polish, accessories) ARE taxable. If a service package includes a significant product component sold as part of the service, that product portion is taxable. Always separate service charges from product charges on your invoices.
Yes. Restaurant meals, takeout, delivery, and prepared food are taxable in Florida at the full combined state + county rate. Alcohol is also taxable. The only exempt food items are unprepared groceries sold for home preparation. Catering services are taxable. Food sold at concession stands is taxable.
The penalty for late filing or late payment is 10% of the tax due, with a minimum of $50 per period. Interest accrues on unpaid tax at a rate set by the DOR each year. Willful non-filing can lead to criminal charges for larger amounts. Florida's Voluntary Disclosure Program allows businesses to come forward proactively and reduce or eliminate back penalties.
Yes — if you exceed the economic nexus threshold ($100,000 in sales to Florida customers in the prior calendar year), you must register and collect Florida sales tax from Florida buyers regardless of where your business is physically located. This has been in effect since 2021. Marketplace facilitators like Amazon or Etsy typically collect on your behalf for sales through their platforms.
A Florida Resale Certificate (DR-13) allows a business to purchase goods tax-free when those goods will be resold to end customers. You obtain it by being registered for Florida sales tax — your registration automatically entitles you to issue DR-13 certificates to suppliers. The supplier should verify the certificate using the DOR's online verification tool before selling to you tax-free.
The Florida DOR standard statute of limitations for sales tax audits is 3 years from the date the return was due or filed, whichever is later. If fraud or substantial underpayment is suspected, the lookback period extends to 5 years. Businesses that never registered and never filed have no statute of limitations protection.
Florida eliminated the sales tax on commercial real property rentals effective October 1, 2025. Office space, retail space, warehouse, and storage leases are now fully exempt — 0% state and 0% county surtax. Florida was previously the only U.S. state that taxed commercial rent; that distinction ended with this law change. Long-term residential rentals remain exempt. Short-term/vacation rentals are still taxable under Tourist Development Tax rules.
What We Do For You Every Month
From your bank statement to your DR-15 — we handle the organization, the numbers, and the guidance. You make the decisions and submit. We do the rest.
You upload your bank statement CSV. We process it and deliver seven documents: Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, Inflows & Outflows, Originators List, Payees List, and Tax Sheet — plus a plain-language summary of your five most important numbers.
Every line of your Florida DR-15 pre-calculated: taxable sales, state tax (6%), county surtax, collection allowance, total due. You open the FDOR portal, copy each number to the right line, submit. Done in under 10 minutes with zero errors.
Monthly verification that every movement in your bank statement is documented and accounted for. No gaps. No unidentified transactions. Delivered as a clean reconciliation report that proves your books are accurate.
We review every transaction and flag personal expenses mixed into your business account — the most common and most dangerous IRS audit trigger. You get a clean, defensible expense list and a clear explanation of what is and isn't deductible under general IRS rules.
A single document with your business health score (1–100), profit margin vs. your industry average, month-over-month expense trends, revenue concentration risk, and 30-day cash projection. One read, full picture.
If you deliver to customers in multiple Florida counties, we apply the correct rate for each destination — not your home county rate. A transaction in Hillsborough is 7.5%, not 7%. Getting this wrong is the most common audit trigger for businesses with delivery.
We flag what doesn't belong: duplicate payments to the same vendor, forgotten recurring subscriptions, unusually large transactions, international payees that may trigger FBAR obligations, and contractors who may require a 1099-NEC.
Every December we identify all payments to individuals and contractors that exceeded $600 during the year and deliver the full list with step-by-step instructions for issuing 1099-NECs before the January 31 IRS deadline. Missing this costs $60–$310 per form.
For clients who use QuickBooks, we generate a properly formatted import file with your complete chart of accounts and transactions. Your QuickBooks is updated without manual entry — ready in minutes.
When you join, we deliver a one-page guide tailored to your industry (restaurant, salon, retail, contractor) with the specific Florida sales tax rules that apply to your business, your filing frequency, and your exact deadlines. You start organized.
