Florida tax overview

What to know about taxes in Florida

Florida has no individual income tax, making it a common destination for people changing domicile. C corporations still pay Florida corporate income tax.

Without a personal income tax, Florida residents focus on federal planning, while Florida businesses deal with corporate income tax for C corporations, sales and use tax, reemployment tax, tangible personal property tax and the annual report. Many of our clients are also new residents who need help establishing Florida domicile and filing a final return in their former state.
