Retail sales receipt, tax calculator, and revenue ledger for sales tax compliance

Sales Tax

Ensure complete compliance with the Florida Department of Revenue through accurate registration, surtax calculations, and timely filings.

Managing state sales tax involves registering proper state accounts, calculating county discretionary surtaxes, and filing returns on strict monthly deadlines. We help your business stay organized, accurate, and fully compliant with the Florida Department of Revenue.

Whether you sell physical merchandise, offer taxable digital goods, operate a restaurant, or rent commercial property in Florida, sales tax must be collected from customers and remitted to the state. Navigating county surtax rates and multi-channel revenue streams can quickly become overwhelming without professional guidance.

At Unique Accounting, we register your business for a Florida Sales Tax Certificate (DR-1), issue annual Resale Certificates (DR-13), reconcile gross sales with taxable receipts, and file your monthly or quarterly DR-15 returns electronically to ensure you never incur state late-filing fees.
