Who Pays Tax in Florida?<\/h2>\n

Florida Income Tax:<\/h3>\n

Just like the federal government, most states impose additional income taxes on your income if you have a sufficient connection to the state. Florida is not one of them. In fact, in Florida, you don\u2019t pay any Florida income tax.<\/p>\n

Florida Sales Taxes:<\/h3>\n

Florida levies a 6% general sales tax. Certain items have a different rate including amusement machine receipts, leasing commercial real property, and electricity. Many Florida counties also impose an additional sales surcharge on most transactions. For certain transactions, the first $5,000 of the purchase price is subject to county sales surtax.<\/p>\n

Personal and Real Property Taxes:<\/h3>\n

If you purchase a home in Florida, property tax is levied and paid at the county level and is based on the \u201cjust\u201d or fair market value of the property. Learn more about property taxes in Florida<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Personal income tax, intangible assets such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds are not taxed by Florida.<\/p>\n

When Are Florida State Tax Returns Due?<\/h2>\n

Deducting Florida State Tax<\/h2>\n

\"floridaBecause you don\u2019t pay Florida personal income tax, you will not be able to claim a deduction for paying state taxes on your federal tax return. When you pay tax to other states, you can claim a state income tax deduction if you itemize deductions on your federal return. Due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act<\/a>, state and local tax deductions, including state income taxes, are limited to $10,000 per year.<\/p>\n

However, if you are filing the Florida state corporate income tax, then consult a tax professional to see what deductions you may have available.<\/p>\n
