Taxation

Florida is one of the nine states which do not impose a personal income tax (list of others). The state sales tax rate is 6 percent. Local governments may levy an additional local option sales tax of up to 1.0 percent. A locale's use tax rate is the same as its sales tax rate, including local options if any. Use taxes are payable for purchases made out of state and brought into Florida within 6 months of the purchase date.
