Florida’s favorable business laws<\/a> and low tax policies offer fertile soil for entrepreneurs to thrive. Entrepreneurs<\/a> seeking to conduct any business activity involving taxes or fees in Florida will likely need to apply for a seller’s permit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you know how to obtain a seller’s permit in Florida? Read on to find out.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Florida Seller’s Permit – Understanding the Concept <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also referred to as a “sales tax permit” or “sales and use tax permit,” a seller’s permit is a type of license used by business owners to collect taxes on goods and services. If a product or service is subject to taxes, the seller must obtain a sales tax permit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most businesses within state jurisdiction require a seller’s permit. If a business is involved in wholesale, retail sales, or product-repair services, it will likely require a seller’s permit in Florida. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, service providers and companies that rent or lease commercial properties must also apply for a sales tax permit. Please note that there is no separate permit for retailers, wholesalers, or service providers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Temporary Vendors Required to Get a Seller’s Permit in Florida? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The state of Florida often hosts conventions and events that attract vendors from several states. In such cases, state law requires vendors to get a seller’s permit from the Florida Department of Revenue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This rule applies to vendors at conventions, seasonal festivals, craft fairs, and other temporary events. The best approach for out-of-state vendors is to work with an expert legal advisor in Florida. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Obtain a Seller’s Permit in Florida – An Overview  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once a business entity<\/a> receives a seller’s permit, it is responsible for collecting taxes on products and services and remitting the due amount to the state of Florida. If a company conducts business in multiple states, it will likely need more than one seller’s permit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step to apply for a seller’s permit in Florida is to fill out the Florida Business Tax Application (DR-1). Applicants have two options, which are to file the application online or download the forms, fill them out, and submit them by mail or in person.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you choose to submit the forms using the latter options, you can do it through a taxpayer service center or submit them directly to the Department of Revenue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The information required in the application varies depending on which business structure was formed upon, what activities the company is engaged in, etc.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, the owner of a sole proprietorship without employees must provide a Social Security number (SSN). Conversely, a corporate entity does not need to provide a SSN, but the business’s employer identification number (EIN). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the permit often includes a state tax ID number. Please note that it cannot replace the EIN required by IRS for federal tax purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state of Florida charges no fees on applicants seeking a seller’s permit. Unlike other licenses and permits<\/a>, a seller’s permit does not expire (unless it is not used for over a year). When a seller’s permit is canceled, a new permit is required before the business can resume operations in Florida.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
