What transactions are subject to the sales tax in florida?


Asked by Nina Schroeder on Dec 13, 2021 FAQ



In the state of Florida, sales tax is legally required to be collected from all tangible, physical products being sold to a consumer. Several examples of exceptions to this tax are certain groceries, any prosthetic or orthopedic instruments, remedies considered to be common household remedies, seeds and fertilizers, and cosmetics.
Besides,
It is a general principle of Florida sales tax law that retail sales of tangible personal property are subject to tax. In addition to that, certain services are subject to sales tax as well. While some states broadly tax services, Florida narrowly taxes only very specific services.
Indeed, If you buy a taxable item outside Florida and bring it into (or have it delivered into) Florida, and you did not pay sales tax on the item, you owe use tax. Many Florida counties have a discretionary sales surtax (county tax) that applies to most transactions subject to the sales or use tax.
In this manner,
Florida imposes a general state sales tax rate of 6% on sales and purchases of items, services, and transient rentals. However, other rates may apply such as: 4% on amusement machine receipts 5.5% on leases and licenses of commercial real property 6.95% on electricity
And,
Sales of customization of canned software are exempt from the sales tax in Florida. Sales of digital products are exempt from the sales tax in Florida.
