How Florida sales tax works
Florida adds a county discretionary sales surtax to the 6% state rate; the surtax generally applies only to the first $5,000 of a single item.
To calculate it, multiply the price by the rate: tax = price × 6.98 ÷ 100. A $40 purchase at the average combined rate carries $2.79 tax, for $42.79 in total. To strip tax out of a receipt total, divide by 1.0698.
