    Your State and Local Tax Specialists in Florida

    State and local taxation, often called SALT, covers the taxes and fees that states, counties, and cities charge individuals and businesses. Rules differ by location and change often, which makes it hard to keep up. As a state and local tax CPA in Florida, Tilbrook CPA makes sure you pay what you owe and not a cent more. We track new rules, credits, and refund opportunities so you get the most out of every filing. We serve Jacksonville, Orange Park, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, and Fernandina Beach. Call (904) 477-3369 to get started.

    • Florida sales and use tax registration, collection, and filing
    • County discretionary sales surtax
    • Florida corporate income tax
    • Tangible personal property tax returns
    • Reemployment (state unemployment) tax
    • Local business tax receipts
    • Documentary stamp tax on qualifying transactions

    Multi-State Tax Compliance for Growing Companies

    Selling online, hiring remote staff, or opening a location in another state can create "nexus," which means a new tax filing duty. Since the 2018 Supreme Court decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, states can require remote sellers to collect sales tax based on sales volume alone. Our multi-state tax compliance services include nexus studies, registration in new states, voluntary disclosure agreements, apportionment of income, and multi-state individual returns for owners. We find your exposure before a state does.

    Florida Sales and Use Tax Help

    Sales tax mistakes are one of the most common reasons Florida businesses receive audit letters. Missed use tax on out-of-state purchases, wrong surtax rates, and missing exemption certificates add up fast. We review your sales and purchase records, correct filing errors, and set up a simple process for future returns. If you already owe back taxes, we can help you resolve them and reduce penalties where possible. For e-commerce sellers, contractors, and restaurants, we also review how each type of sale is taxed, because the same item can be taxable or exempt depending on how it is sold and delivered.

    Does Florida have a state income tax?

    Florida has no personal income tax. However, C corporations doing business in Florida may owe Florida corporate income tax, and most businesses deal with sales tax, property tax, and reemployment tax.

    Nexus is a connection to a state that requires you to register and collect its sales tax. It can come from a physical location, employees, inventory, or reaching a state's sales threshold as a remote seller.

    Florida businesses generally must report furniture, equipment, and other business assets to their county property appraiser each year. The return is usually due April 1, and exemptions may apply.

    Yes. We represent businesses in state sales tax and income tax audits, organize your records, communicate with the auditor, and work to reduce any assessment.
