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.
The sale of a maintenance or service warranty contract, including an extended warranty, covering taxable tangible personal property is subject to sales tax and surtax.
