Florida has no state income tax and a 6% state sales tax that applies to goods but exempts most services. This template gets the tax line right for Florida service businesses and contractors.
Sales tax on invoices in Florida
Rate: 6% state, plus county surtax (varies by county)
Florida charges 6% state sales tax, and most counties add a discretionary surtax on top. Florida taxes tangible goods but exempts most services, so a service business that only bills labor typically charges no sales tax. If you sell parts or products, those are taxable. The county surtax usually only applies to the first $5,000 of a single taxable item, which matters on larger sales.
What gets taxed: Most services are exempt. Tangible goods are taxable.
Rates and rules change. Confirm the current rate and what is taxable with your state tax authority before you file.
Contractor licensing in Florida
Florida licenses contractors through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), with both state-certified and registered (local) categories. Many trades require a license, so put your license number on the invoice if your work requires one.

Florida invoice FAQs
Are services taxable in Florida?
Most are not. Florida taxes tangible goods but exempts most services. If you only bill labor, you generally charge no sales tax. If you sell materials or products, those goods are taxable, so itemize them separately.
Does Florida have a state income tax?
No. Florida has no state income tax. You still owe federal income and self-employment tax, and you still collect Florida sales tax on taxable goods you sell.
What sales tax rate applies in Florida?
The state rate is 6%, plus a county discretionary surtax that varies by county and usually applies only to the first $5,000 of a single taxable item. Use the rate for the county where the sale occurs.
