Sales Tax for Florida E-Commerce

If you’re selling physical products from Miami, you’re collecting Florida’s 6% state sales tax plus the Miami-Dade discretionary surtax on in-state sales. But that’s just the starting point. If you store inventory in other states — say, through Amazon’s FBA network — you may have nexus in those states and owe sales tax there too. After the Wayfair decision, even sellers without physical inventory in a state can trigger economic nexus once they hit that state’s revenue or transaction threshold.

Marketplace facilitators like Amazon, Etsy, and Walmart already collect and remit sales tax on your behalf for marketplace sales, but direct sales through your own website are on you. We sort through all of this so you know exactly where you need to register, collect, and file.
