Department of Revenue information concerning your business.
The Florida Department of Revenue received authority from the 2010 Legislature to publish a list of the names of taxpayers who have large unresolved tax liabilities.
These taxpayers have failed to pay or arrange to pay their debt, despite repeated attempts by the Department to collect the amount due.
The names were selected according to the following criteria:
1. Taxpayers who have unsatisfied tax warrants or liens totaling $100,000 or more, and
2.In counties where no taxpayer has warrants or liens totaling $100,000, the two taxpayers with the highest amount of warrants or liens are included.
Taxpayers who are in bankruptcy, who have entered into and are current on a stipulated payment agreement, or who have in place a payment agreement with the Department, are excluded.
The warrant or lien is a public record filed with the Clerk of Court or other government office in the county where the taxpayer is located. The list is published according to Chapter 2010-138, Laws of Florida. Unauthorized use of this information is prohibited by Florida law. For more details, read our privacy notice.
The list will be updated every 30 days. The current list was posted on January 21, 2010.
If your name or business name appears on the list and you want to resolve your tax liability, contact your local Department of Revenue service center or call Fresh Start Tax to resolve these issues. You must do one of the following:

Side Note:
The state of Florida Department of revenue selects certain industries and locations for specific audits.
Understand that audits can be very simple or very complex depending on two things.
The reason your tax returns were pulled for audit and how the state auditor for the Department of revenue views your case.
At the very beginning of the sales tax audit taxpayers should be very upfront, very truthful and be represented by a high skilled professional person.
As a general rule, hiring a tax professional can limit the scope of your audit and many times encourage the Win sampling of your tax return.

Do you owe Florida’s Discretionary Sales Surtax? Call one of Florida’s most experienced professional tax firms.
Are you getting Audited by the State of Florida for these of other issues?
Florida’s Department of Revenue Discretionary Sales Surtax ( from DOR )
Discretionary sales surtax is a sales tax imposed by most Florida counties. The surtax applies to most transactions subject to the sales or use tax. The tax is also called a local option county sales tax. Sales tax dealers must collect discretionary sales surtax and the 6 percent state sales tax from the purchaser at the time of sale.
You must remit both taxes to the Department of Revenue. Revenue distributes the discretionary sales surtax collected back to the counties that levy the surtax. Counties use these funds to help pay for local authorized projects.
When Is a Transaction Subject to Surtax?
You must collect discretionary sales surtax when the transaction occurs in, or delivery is into, a county that imposes a surtax and the sale is subject to sales and use tax. Use the chart to help you determine when to collect the surtax.
When and at What Rate to Collect Discretionary Sales Surtax (Local Option County Tax) on Taxable Sales If a selling dealer located in any Florida county with a discretionary surtax sells & delivers into the county where the selling vendor is located surtax is collected at the county rate where the delivery is made.
If a selling dealer located in any Florida county with or without a discretionary surtax sells & delivers into counties with different discretionary surtax rates surtax is collected at the county rate where the delivery is made
If a selling dealer located in any Florida county with or without a discretionary surtax sells & delivers into counties without a discretionary surtax surtax is not collected
If an out-of-state selling dealer sells & delivers into a Florida county with a discretionary surtax surtax is collected at the county rate where delivery is made
If an out-of-state selling dealer sells & delivers into a Florida county without a discretionary surtax surtax is not collected
Discretionary sales surtax applies to transactions when:
The selling dealer delivers taxable goods or taxable service in or into a county with a surtax.
The event for which an admission is charged is located in a county with a surtax. (Tax is due at the rate in the county where the event takes place.)
The consumer of electric power or energy is located in a county with a surtax.
The sale of prepaid calling arrangements occurs in a county with a surtax.
The location or delivery of tangible personal property covered by a service warranty is within a surtax county.
The commercial real property that is leased or rented, or upon which a license for use is granted, is in a county with a surtax.
The rental of living or sleeping accommodations (transient rentals) occurs in a county with a surtax.
A registered dealer owing use tax on purchases or leases is in a county with a surtax.
Tax Rates
The discretionary sales surtax rate depends on the county. Rates currently range from .5 percent to 1.5 percent. A few counties do not impose the surtax. Form DR-15DSS lists Florida counties and their rates. The form is updated yearly in November.
Limit on Amount of Tax Charged
In many cases, there is a limit to the amount of tax charged. Discretionary sales surtax applies to the first $5,000 of the sales amount on the sale, use, lease, rental, or license to use any item of tangible personal property. Tangible personal property is personal property that you can see, weigh, measure, or touch or is in any manner perceptible to the senses, including electric power or energy. The $5,000 cap does not apply to rentals of real property, transient rentals, or services. Filing and Paying Taxes
Selling dealers pay discretionary sales surtax along with sales and use tax on the Sales and Use Tax Return. You can report and pay sales and use tax and discretionary sales tax using Revenue’s secure Internet site or you may buy software from an approved vendor. Before you can file and pay your taxes electronically, you must enroll in our e-Services program. Taxpayers who pay electronically can download a payment due date calendar.
Businesses whose sales and use tax collections are less than $20,000 per year may pay and report tax using a paper Sales and Use Tax Return (Form DR-15). Revenue has detailed instructions (Form DR-15N) to help you accurately complete your return. Returns and payments are due on the 1st and late after the 20th day of the collection period following the collection period. However, we encourage all taxpayers to file and pay electronically.
