Do I have to charge sales tax for online sales in Florida?
Quick answer
Only after you cross economic nexus. Once you exceed $100,000 in sales into Florida over 12 months, you must register with the Florida Department of Revenue and charge the buyer's destination rate.
Remote sellers exceeding $100,000 in Florida taxable sales in the prior calendar year must register.
