In general, rentals of real property in Florida are subject to sales tax. (This is fairly unusual.) However, there are exceptions. For example, the rental of property that is used exclusively for dwelling units is not subject to the tax. See Fla.

| I have an Oregon LLC that is receiving lease/rent payments from a Florida LLC. Is Florida going to tax this? I was told yes by the bookkeeper but I don't find anything on the website that indicates that. | |

| Your bookkeeper is correct. Check out page 8 of the Florida Sales and Use Tax Guide | |

| Yep, for sure...the Florida sales tax rate is 6%, plus the sur-tax rate, if any, of the county where the commercial property is located. | |
