Why the rate here is not the whole story
Florida's state rate is 6 percent and Miami-Dade County levies a discretionary sales surtax of 1 percent, which applies countywide because Florida cities and special districts cannot levy a general sales tax of their own. The 1 percent is the total of 2 separate surtaxes the county levies at once, each with its own purpose and expiration date, and the form lists the total as the rate a dealer collects. The surtax is charged only on the first $5,000 of a single item of tangible personal property, so the county portion stops accruing above that amount while the 6 percent state tax applies to the full price.
How do I find the exact rate for an address in Miami-Dade County?
