General Rule: Most Services Are Not Taxable in Florida Florida stands apart from many other states when it comes to its philosophy on taxing services. Unlike the nearly automatic taxation of tangible goods (such as clothing, electronics, or furniture), most services within the state are not subject to sales tax.
Generally, when installing or repairing tangible personal property, parts and labor are taxable. If the job is “labor only” it is not taxable, but the repairer must document that no parts or other items were incorporated into or attached to the repaired item.
Tax-exempt goods Examples include most non-prepared food items, food stamps, and medical supplies. We recommend businesses review the laws and rules put forth by the Florida Department of Revenue and stay up to date on which goods are taxable and which are exempt, and under what conditions.
