Prepare Your Sales Tax in Miami-Dade and Broward

Most services are not taxable in Florida, but there are specific exceptions, and goods sold along with a service usually are taxable. We review your revenue streams one by one so you collect on what applies and nothing else.

It is an additional local rate that many Florida counties, including Miami-Dade and Broward, add to the state sales tax. It is generally applied based on where the goods are delivered, which matters for businesses that ship across county lines.

We register your sales and use tax account with the Florida Department of Revenue, set the filing frequency the state assigns, configure your point of sale so the state rate and county surtax are right, prepare each return, reconcile the tax collected to your sales records and schedule the payment. Resale and exemption certificates are organized so they hold up in a review.

Your Sunbiz registration and FEIN, a description of what you sell and where, your sales records or point of sale reports and any existing Department of Revenue account information. If you do not have the federal number yet, start with our EIN number application page.

Yes, Florida taxes commercial rent, which surprises landlords and tenants arriving from other states. The landlord collects it with the rent and reports it, and the county surtax can apply as well. If you own or lease commercial space in Coral Gables or Fort Lauderdale, we check how it is being handled on both sides.

It is the document that lets a business buy goods for resale without paying sales tax on the purchase, and that a wholesaler in Doral or Medley needs from its customers to sell to them without charging sales tax. Certificates have to be valid and on file for each customer. We set up the routine so a missing certificate does not become an assessment later.

Tell us as soon as possible. We reconstruct the periods from your sales records, prepare the returns that are due and explain the options for bringing the account current. If the Florida Department of Revenue has already written to you, our business tax audit help page explains how we prepare the response.

It depends on your filing frequency, how many locations or counties you sell into, whether rent or tourist taxes are involved and how clean your sales records are. The work itself is remote, from your point of sale reports and bank statements, with reviews by video or by appointment at our Palmetto Bay or Sunrise office, in Spanish or English. We define the scope in the first conversation.
