General Florida Sales Tax Information
Each sale, admission charge, storage, or rental is taxable unless the transaction is exempt. Sales tax is added to the price of the taxable goods or service and collected from the purchaser at the time of sale.
Florida’s general sales tax rate is 6 percent.
Florida Use Tax
Use tax is due on the use or consumption of taxable goods or services when sales tax was not paid at the time of purchase.
For example:
a. If you buy a taxable item in Florida and didn’t pay sales tax, you owe use tax.
b. If you buy an item tax-exempt intending to resell it and then use the item in your business or for personal use, you owe use tax.
c. If you buy a taxable item outside Florida and bring or have it delivered into this state and you didn’t pay sales tax on the item, you owe use tax.
Discretionary Sales Surtax
Most Florida counties have a discretionary sales surtax (county tax) that applies to most transactions subject to the sales or use tax.
The county surtax rate applies to a taxable item or service delivered into a county imposing a surtax. The surtax rate that applies to motor vehicles and mobile homes is determined by the home address of the purchaser.
You should check the rates for each county (Form DR-15DSS) in which you sell or deliver taxable goods or services.
For certain transactions, only the first $5,000 of a taxable sale or purchase is subject to the discretionary sales surtax.
How Sales Tax Is Calculated
Sales tax and discretionary sales surtax are calculated on each taxable transaction. Florida uses a bracket system for calculating sales tax when the transaction falls between two whole dollar amounts.
Simply multiply the whole dollar amount by the tax rate (6 percent plus the county surtax rate) and use the bracket system to figure the tax on the amount less than a dollar. The Department of Revenue has rate tables (Form DR-2X) to help you.
Who Must Pay Tax Florida Sales Tax ?
Before you begin business in Florida, you must first find out if your business activity or products used will be subject to sales or use tax.

If you don’t know if your business must register to collect sales tax, contact your local service center or Taxpayer Services.
