Florida sales tax filing rules
Good to know
Returns are due the 1st and LATE AFTER the 20th of the month following each period.
Good to know
Electronic payments must be INITIATED by 5:00 p.m. ET on the business day BEFORE the 20th (see Form DR-659). This is earlier than the 20th itself.
Good to know
Businesses that paid $5,000+ in sales tax in the prior state fiscal year must file and pay electronically.
Timely-filing discount
Collection allowance of 2.5% of the first $1,200 of tax due (max $30 per reporting period), for electronic filers only.
Filing Florida sales tax late
Florida charges a late-filing and late-payment penalty plus interest on any unpaid tax, and most states apply a minimum penalty even on a zero return. Filing late also forfeits the timely-filing discount described above. File on time — even a return with no tax due must be filed. Confirm current penalty amounts with the Florida Department of Revenue.
