Remote sellers must register and collect Florida sales tax once their taxable remote sales into Florida passed $100,000 in the previous calendar year. Sales through marketplaces that collect Florida tax for you don’t count toward the threshold, and SaaS is not taxable in Florida.

Check your Florida sales tax nexus
Enter your sales and number of orders into each state for the period that state measures (usually the current or previous calendar year). The checker compares them with each state’s economic nexus threshold.
Thresholds last reviewed September 2026. States define includable sales differently (gross, retail or taxable), some count marketplace sales and some do not, and a physical presence such as inventory or staff creates nexus on its own. Results are estimates for general information only, not legal, tax or financial advice. Confirm them with your own CPA, tax adviser or attorney before making decisions. Using this tool does not create a client relationship with Catching Numbers Inc.
Do Amazon, Etsy and other marketplace sales count toward the Florida threshold?
No. Florida counts only your own taxable remote sales. Sales made through a marketplace provider that collects Florida tax on your behalf, and sales of exempt items, are left out. If all of your Florida sales go through such marketplaces, you generally don’t need to register as a remote seller.
When do I have to register and start collecting?
Florida looks back at the previous calendar year. If your taxable remote sales into Florida passed $100,000 last year, you need to register and collect on your Florida sales this year. Track it through the year so you know before January whether you will need to register.
How do I register for Florida sales tax?
Register with the Florida Department of Revenue as a sales and use tax dealer, online through the Florida Business Tax Application (or on Form DR-1).
What rate do I charge Florida customers?
The state rate is 6%. Most counties add a discretionary sales surtax, based on the county the order is delivered to, which usually brings the combined rate to between 6% and 8%. The county surtax generally applies only to the first $5,000 of a single item.
Is SaaS taxable in Florida?
No. The Florida Department of Revenue has advised that subscriptions to remotely accessed software and cloud services are not taxable when nothing tangible is delivered. Software delivered on physical media is taxable.
Is shipping taxable in Florida?
It depends on whether the customer can avoid the charge. If shipping is optional, meaning the customer could choose to pick up the order instead, a separately stated shipping charge is not taxable. If shipping is mandatory because the customer has no other way to get the item, the charge is part of the taxable sale, even when it is listed separately.
Do I owe Florida income tax as a remote seller?
Florida has no personal income tax. Its corporate income tax applies mainly to C corporations doing business in Florida; most LLCs taxed as partnerships and S corporations don’t pay it. Florida has no bright-line economic nexus test, so it depends on what you do there.
Sellers of physical goods may be protected from state income tax by a federal law, P.L. 86-272, if their only activity in the state is soliciting orders that ship from outside it. That protection does not cover SaaS, services or digital products. Check your position with our state income tax nexus checker.
What if I store inventory in Florida, including Amazon FBA?
Inventory stored in Florida, including in an Amazon FBA or other marketplace warehouse, gives you a physical presence there. Physical presence creates sales tax nexus on its own, whatever your sales total, so you would generally need to register even below the economic threshold.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Florida economic nexus threshold for 2026 and 2027?
More than $100,000 of taxable remote sales into Florida in the previous calendar year. There is no transaction count test. No change has been announced for 2027 as of October 2026.
Do exempt sales count toward the Florida threshold?
No. Florida counts only taxable remote sales, so exempt goods and sales for resale are left out.
Is Florida sales tax origin-based or destination-based?
Destination-based for remote sellers. You charge the 6% state rate plus the surtax of the county the order is delivered to.
Do I have to collect Florida tax on digital products?
Generally no. Florida does not tax SaaS or remotely accessed software, and most electronically delivered digital products are not taxable. Physical media is taxable.
