Overview of Florida Online Sales Tax
Florida online sales tax is levied on companies engaging in the state’s sales tax nexus. Consumers pay a specific rate that companies then pay to the State of Florida. Tax lawyers provide legal advice if small business owners have questions about Florida online sales taxes.
Online Sales Tax Rate
The online sales tax rate in Florida is currently six percent of the sale price. This figure is in addition to the 5.5 percent business tax rates on corporations. Other sales taxes apply to business transactions in the state’s sales tax nexus.
Here’s a web page about Florida’s online sales tax.
Federal Online Sales Tax vs. Florida Online Sales Tax
Federal online sales tax is a federal tax collected by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). However, there are currently no federal online sales taxes. Florida online sales tax is a state tax collected by the Department of Revenue.

Compliance with Florida Online Sales Tax
Florida online sales tax compliance requires companies to pay online sales taxes to the state. If they don’t pay taxes, penalties for small businesses are on the table, including fines and criminal charges. Ensure that you properly use exemptions, deductions, and tax cuts when paying online sales tax in Florida.
Online Sales Tax Calculator
An online sales tax calculator for Florida can help you estimate and predict your employer-related tax payments to the state in a business-friendly way. Ensure you use an online sales tax calculator instead of another financial calculator, such as an income tax calculator, to produce more accurate results.
Filing & Paying
Filing and paying Florida online sales tax are completed in two parts. First, consumers pay sales taxes directly to the retailer. The retailer then files their tax application with the Florida Department of Revenue and pays the appropriate sales taxes collected.
Here’s how to file and pay online sales tax in Florida:
- Step 1. Complete form DR-15
- Step 2. File it by the first day of each month
- Step 3. Pay the appropriate taxes
Other Business Taxes
Other business taxes in Florida include sales taxes both offline and online. For instance, car dealerships pay tax on cars that they sell to consumers on the lot. A solid strategy and a conversation with tax lawyers can help you determine which other business taxes apply to your situation.

Zenaida R.
I am an active member of The Florida Bar, having successfully passed the Florida Bar Examination in September 2023. My legal career spans over seven years, beginning with extensive experience as a law clerk, where I supported attorneys and developed a strong foundation in client-focused legal work. I focus my own practice on business and estate planning matters, including entity formation, corporate governance and compliance, commercial transactions, and long-term planning for individuals, families, and business owners. My estate planning practice focuses on helping individuals and families protect their assets, plan for incapacity, and ensure their wishes are carried out with clarity and confidence. I regularly prepare wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, and related planning documents, and I take a personalized, practical approach to each plan—ensuring it reflects the client’s goals, family dynamics, and long-term needs while remaining fully compliant with Florida law.

Alexander H.
I have been licensed to practice law in Florida since 1999. My work has centered on a wide range of family‑court matters, including divorce, child support, custody, paternity cases, and prenuptial agreements. I also handle broader family‑law services such as Last Will & Testaments, Powers of Attorney, and property‑related issues such as Quit Claim Deeds. In addition to family law, I have extensive experience in consumer bankruptcy law, such as Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and advising clients on issues such as wage garnishments, bank levies, foreclosure defense, repossessions, judgment enforcement, credit card lawsuits, and debt defense tactics. I regularly guide individuals on qualifying for bankruptcy, means‑testing, exemption planning, and strategies to protect assets in divorce and bankruptcy. I developed the Family Law and Bankruptcy Law courses for a law school, and I am the author of Consumer Bankruptcy Law for paralegals and legal professionals, published by Routledge. I also teach business law, economics of law, and bankruptcy in both English and Spanish for an international university.
