Florida has enacted legislation that requires remote sellers and marketplace providers to collect and remit sales and use taxes (and applicable local option surtaxes) when they have more than $100,000 in annual sales to Florida buyers. The requirement is effective July 1, 2021.
Businesses should consider their potential liability as either remote sellers or marketplace providers under the new law and whether exclusions from tax collection requirements may apply. Affected businesses must prepare to collect and remit tax with only a little over two months’ notice.
