About Florida Sales Tax
Florida charges a 6% state sales tax, with county-level discretionary surtaxes adding up to 2% depending on the location. Most major cities — Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale — have a combined rate of 7%. Orlando is slightly lower at 6.5%. The statewide average combined rate is 7.05%.
Florida is an origin-based state for in-state sales, meaning sellers located in Florida collect based on their business location's rate. Remote sellers shipping into Florida collect based on the destination address.
The economic nexus threshold in Florida is $100,000 in annual gross sales into the state. There is no transaction count requirement. Once exceeded, you must register with the Florida Department of Revenue.
Florida has no state income tax, which makes it attractive for residents and businesses. The state relies heavily on sales tax and tourism taxes for revenue. Florida also hosts an annual back-to-school sales tax holiday (typically in late July or early August) on clothing, school supplies, and personal computers, offering temporary exemptions.
