Calculating Sales Tax

 

Florida sales and use tax in the amount of 6% is collected on the purchase price, less trade in, on all vehicle transfers of ownership.  In addition, some counties charge a local discretionary sales surtax.  Hillsborough County residents currently pay a 1% discretionary sales surtax on the first $5,000 of taxable value.

 

Example:  Purchase Price $10,000
     
How to Calculate Sales Tax:    
Taxable Value   $10,000.00
6% x .06
Total Sales Tax   $600.00
     
How to Calculate Discretionary Tax:    
Taxable Value   $5,000.00
1% x .01
Total Discretionary Tax   50.00
     
How to Calculate Total Tax:    
Sales Tax   $600.00
Discretionary Tax + $50.00
Total Tax Due   $650.00
