Florida businesses: Do you have out-of-state customers?

If you have a business presence in a state, you must register with that state for tax purposes. Examples of business presence (sometimes referred to as nexus) include:

· Owning property in that state.
· Making regular deliveries of your merchandise.
· Providing repair services.
· Sending your representatives to solicit orders.
If you sell items to customers in another state, but do not have nexus, you do not have to collect sales tax on the items you sell to them. However, your customers are responsible for paying use tax on the items when they receive them.

We encourage businesses to voluntarily register with their market states to collect sales tax from out-of-state customers. If you voluntarily register to collect tax, you can help prevent your customers from receiving a bill from another state for use tax, penalty, and interest.
