Florida tax climate
The local tax environment
State tax overview
Florida has no state personal income tax. Corporations pay a 5.5% income tax. Sales tax is 6% state plus local surtaxes. The favorable individual tax climate fuels a steady inflow of high-net-worth relocations and the residency-substantiation work that comes with them.
Tax rates and rules change frequently. Verify current figures with a licensed professional before acting.

FAQ
Startup CPAs in Florida
When should a startup hire a CPA?
At incorporation, ideally — early decisions on entity type, 83(b) elections, and accounting method affect QSBS eligibility and tax outcomes for years.
Can pre-revenue startups claim R&D credits?
Yes — qualifying startups can offset up to $500K/year of payroll tax with R&D credits, even with zero income tax liability. A startup CPA documents and files Form 6765 and Form 8974.
