Florida sales tax

Cleaning tax in Florida is a trap with four separate teeth. Broomstack handles it per job, per address.

Nonresidential interior cleaning is taxable in Florida. Houses are not. Carpet cleaning is not. Exterior work is not. County surtax stacks on top of the state rate and changes across a county line you cross twice a day. Most cleaning companies learn all of this from an auditor.

What it does about it

The specifics.

  1. Nonresidential interior cleaning is taxed correctly

    State rate plus the county surtax for that specific address — not a flat rate you set once and hope covers it.

  2. Residential is exempt, and stays exempt

    The houses you cleaned today are not taxable, and the system does not need to be reminded of that on every invoice.

  3. Carpet and exterior are exempt too

    A carpet job at a taxable building is still not a taxable line. The rule is applied at the line, not the invoice.

  4. Exemption certificates

    Stored against the account, so a tax-exempt client stays exempt without anyone re-deciding it every month.

  5. DR-15 export

    When it is time to file, the numbers come out in the shape the state asks for.

Where the line is

Broomstack applies the rules; it is not tax advice, and your accountant still signs the return. What it removes is the part where you were guessing.
