You can expect a Department of revenue in the state of Florida to conduct many more sales tax audits due to its shortfall in revenue in the high volume of businesses and individuals not paying sales tax. This is been a huge problem in the state of Florida for the past few years.
There is an estimate of one fourth of businesses currently falling in the tax gap and not staying current, or being delinquent, or closing shop and taking off without paying sales tax.
We are seeing a higher volume of criminal prosecutions due to the sales tax issues. The last thing you want to do is fall in the hands of a criminal investigator for the State of Florida.

The most important advice we can get you is to make sure that you are staying current in both your filing and monthly payments to the state of Florida. The Department of revenue finds that you are making every effort to try to stay current in many instances you will find they will offer a great amount of grace.
If the agent from the Florida sales tax division  reviews your case and finds that you are making every effort to stay current and pay your back taxes, as a general rule they will do everything they can to make sure they can work out in agreeable tax settlement and the possibility of abating some penalties and interest.
