State and Local Tax Planning

Each year, Florida attracts thousands of entrepreneurs, workers, and businesses eager to live and work in a state with no state or local income taxes. That doesn’t mean, however, the sunshine state has no tax implications.

Retailers must collect the state’s 6% state sales tax, with local options for up to an additional 1.5%. Some 300 county, municipal and other local jurisdictions across the state levy a variety of property, business and other fees and taxes.

Aside from serving as our business clients’ tax advisor, as a local firm AbitOs helps businesses – from startups to mature enterprises – stay atop the local taxes and assessments that are as important to comply with as any other tax levied by any authority.
