See [Needs attention](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/locations?primary_tab=needs_attention) tab to get insights about your potential tax registration obligations in Florida. Stripe also notifies you with email and Dashboard alerts when you need to register to collect tax. Learn more about how the [monitoring tool works](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/monitoring.md). ### Sales tax Remote sellers must register to collect and remit sales tax in Florida when, in the previous calendar year, they exceed a sales threshold of 100,000 USD. The threshold includes taxable sales of tangible personal property. The threshold excludes sales of services, nontaxable sales of tangible personal property, wholesale sales (sales of resale), and marketplace sales. If your **head office** in the [tax settings page](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/tax) of the Dashboard is in Florida, you’re not a remote seller and you must register due to your physical presence in the state. ### Other taxes We support calculation and collection of the [Florida Communications Services Tax](https://floridarevenue.com/taxes/taxesfees/Pages/cst.aspx) if you sell video or audio streaming to customers in Florida. This includes: - Communications Services Tax - Communications Services Gross Receipts Tax - Local Communications Services Tax These taxes have no remote seller threshold because they only apply if your business has a physical presence in Florida. Stripe doesn’t include transactions for this tax in its threshold monitoring. We also support calculation and collection of the Miami [Parking Facilities Surcharge](https://www.miamisurcharge.com/), which applies to all transactions at all parking facilities, public or private. Stripe doesn’t include transactions for this tax in its threshold monitoring. ## Register to collect tax If you’re a remote seller, [Stripe can register with the local tax authorities](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/use-stripe-to-register.md) for you. Register for tax in Florida at the [tax authority](https://floridarevenue.com/taxes/taxesfees/Pages/sales_tax.aspx). Read our guide to [navigate sales tax registration](https://stripe.com/guides/sales-tax-registration-process-us) for help. You can also use [Stripe to register](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/use-stripe-to-register.md) on your behalf. After registering, [add your registration](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registering.md#track-your-registrations-in-the-tax-dashboard) in the [Stripe Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/registrations?location=us-fl) to start collecting tax on your transactions in Florida. You must enable the Florida Communication Services Tax as a separate registration in Stripe, but this registration activates all state and local taxes of this type. ## How we calculate taxes Stripe calculates the taxes that apply to your customer’s location. ## Report and file your taxes Stripe can automatically [file for you](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/file-with-stripe.md). Alternatively, use [Locations](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/locations) in the Dashboard to review reports and file on your own. ### Filing In Florida, you can [file with Stripe](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/file-with-stripe.md) to automate US sales tax filing from the Stripe Dashboard. You can also choose to file using one of Stripe Tax’s filing partners—Taxually, Marosa, and Hands-off Sales Tax (HOST). These partners automatically sync your tax transaction data in real time, eliminating the need for manual data entry or file transfers. Learn more about [tax filing](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/filing.md). ### Location reports [Location reports](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/reports.md#us-location-reports) offer a summary of transaction and refund data for specific US locations and align with Florida filing requirements. You have the option to report on an annual, semiannual, quarterly, or monthly basis. Reporting-specific considerations: - Certain areas in Florida can impose an extra sales surtax, but there is a set limit on how much tax will be applied based on the transaction amount. You won’t see a location report for Florida if you had these transactions. Use the [exports](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/reports.md#exports) instead for a detailed tax breakdown of each transaction. - The location reports don’t include transactions with the Florida Communications Services tax as these are filed to the state using a different report. To see transactions with these taxes, you can use the [exports](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/reports.md#exports). ### Exports The tax transaction data export provides a comprehensive and aggregated view of transactions by location, including a breakdown of individual tax amounts. Learn more about [tax reporting exports](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/reports.md#exports). ## See also - [Set up Stripe Tax](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/set-up.md) - [Register for sales tax, VAT, and GST](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registering.md) - [Use Stripe to register](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/use-stripe-to-register.md)
