The Florida Department of Revenue (“Department”) has issued DR-15DSS, its annual listing of discretionary sales surtax rates for the coming year. Several counties have increased their local surtax rates for 2023 and additional counties have extended their surtax rates for future years.
The following counties have issued surtax rate changes for 2023:
The counties of Monroe, Osceola, Pasco, Sarasota have extended their local surtax for future years.
Florida vendors and remote sellers should ensure registers and point-of-sales systems are updated to reflect the rate changes, effective January 1, 2023. In addition, businesses must update the use tax rates in their accounting software or ERP system to reflect the changes. As a best practice, taxpayers should review sales reports on the effective date of the rate change to confirm systems are properly calculating the surtax.
The full discretionary sales surtax publication for 2023 can be reviewed on the Department’s website.
