As a Florida resident who is also self-employed in FL, I can tell you for a fact that you are required by state law to charge your FL customers the state sales tax. Presently it is 6% with the following exceptions: 4% on amusement machine receipts, 5.7% on the lease or license of commercial real property, and 6.95% on electricity.
It must show as a separate line item entry on each and every invoice, sales receipt. or whatever method you use to track individual transactions between your business and a Florida resident. Then you are required to pay that total of all state sales tax collected, to the state of FL on at least a quarterly basis. Depending on the amount of tax collected, you could be required to pay it to the state monthly.
I would highly suggest you begin the education process on this at https://floridarevenue.com/taxes/taxesfees/Pages/sales_tax.aspx as there are quite a number of counties and other municipalities in this state that also impose a sales tax on goods and services purchased by their residents, regardless of where the item is purchased from. For example, my city of St. Augustine imposes an additional 1/2% sales tax on top of the 6% state sales tax, for any material goods purchased from any business that has a physical presence within the city limits. So you may not only need to educate yourself on state tax laws. You may also need to find out if any lower level authority whose jurisdiction your business has a physical presence in, imposes any additional tax on the products and/or services you sell.
