If your Thresholds business sells $100,000 into Florida in a calendar year, you have economic nexus and must register, collect, and remit Florida sales tax.
Florida's economic nexus threshold, in detail
The current Florida threshold is $100,000, in effect since 2021-07-01.
A threshold is two numbers, not one: the dollar figure above, and the measurement base it is applied to. States do not use the same base — some count total combined sales of tangible personal property including nontaxable sales, some count only retail sales, and some count only taxable sales. That choice can move you across the line months earlier or later on identical revenue, and it is published by the state, not inferable from the dollar amount. Confirm Florida’s base with the Florida Department of Revenue before you compute. Sales made through a marketplace facilitator are excluded from the seller’s own count in many states but not all — that too is a per-state rule.
Florida threshold facts for remote sellers
Florida DOR describes the remote-seller trigger as taxable remote Florida sales over $100,000 in the previous calendar year. It is a sales-only test: Florida does not publish a separate transaction-count threshold for remote sellers. Last verified: 2026-06-09.
The same DOR registration guidance says marketplace sellers must register only when they have Florida physical presence or more than $100,000 in taxable remote sales to Florida customers outside the marketplace. When a registered marketplace provider certifies that it will collect and remit Florida tax, the marketplace seller does not collect tax on those marketplace transactions.
Florida also requires remote sellers and marketplace providers to collect any applicable county discretionary sales surtax on taxable Florida deliveries. Source: Florida DOR registration guidance and TIP #21A01-03, date_retrieved: 2026-06-09.
Lookback periods: the four patterns states actually use
There is no single national lookback period. Four distinct patterns are in use, and each is written into that state’s own guidance — this site does not publish a lookback period for Florida because a wrong window would put you on the wrong side of the line. These four official examples show how far apart the patterns sit:
- Preceding 12 calendar months (rolling). Texas: “total Texas revenue greater than $500,000 in the preceding 12 calendar months” — Texas Comptroller publication 94-108, date_retrieved: 2026-07-20.
- Preceding OR current calendar year. California: $500,000 in total combined sales of tangible personal property for delivery in California “during the preceding or current calendar year” — so a mid-year surge triggers registration in that same year. CDTFA Wayfair guidance, date_retrieved: 2026-07-20.
- Immediately preceding four sales tax quarters. New York: gross receipts over $500,000 and more than 100 sales of tangible personal property delivered into the state, measured across the four preceding sales tax quarters rather than a calendar year — NYS Department of Taxation and Finance, date_retrieved: 2026-07-20.
- Previous calendar year only. Florida: taxable remote Florida sales over $100,000 in the previous calendar year, with no transaction-count test — Florida DOR registration guidance, date_retrieved: 2026-06-09.
Registration deadlines after you cross are set separately by each state and are not uniform — confirm both the Florida lookback window and the date collection must begin with the Florida Department of Revenue.
Common threshold-tracking mistakes
- Assuming one lookback window across every state. A seller who tracks all 50 states on a calendar year misses the rolling and four-quarter states entirely, and a seller who tracks everything on a rolling 12 months registers early in the previous-calendar-year states.
- Applying the wrong measurement base — counting only taxable sales in a state whose test is total combined sales, or the reverse. Read the base off the state’s own guidance before you build the spreadsheet.
- Including collected tax in “gross sales”. The threshold uses pre-tax revenue; double-counting tax in the threshold figure can prematurely trigger registration.
- Assuming that falling below the threshold ends the obligation. Once you hold a permit the filing duty attaches to the permit, and whether (and when) you may close the account is a Florida DOR determination, not an automatic reset.
Florida nexus note
Florida sales tax nexus and economic nexus threshold: effective July 1, 2021, an out-of-state retailer with no Florida physical presence must register, collect, report, and remit Florida sales tax and discretionary sales surtax once it has taxable remote Florida sales exceeding $100,000 over the previous calendar year. Florida uses a sales-only threshold -- no transaction-count test. Registered marketplace providers collect and remit Florida tax on taxable retail sales they facilitate; marketplace sellers with Florida physical presence or more than $100,000 in taxable remote Florida sales outside the marketplace must register and collect on those outside-marketplace sales.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the Florida economic nexus threshold in 2026?
- Florida's 2026 economic nexus threshold is more than $100,000 in taxable remote Florida sales in the previous calendar year. Florida DOR describes this as a sales-only remote-seller test, with no separate transaction-count threshold. Florida DOR source data last retrieved 2026-06-09.
- What lookback period does Florida use for economic nexus?
- Florida measures the remote-seller test against the previous calendar year only — taxable remote Florida sales over $100,000 in that prior year — rather than a rolling window. That is one of four lookback patterns in use across US states: Texas uses the preceding 12 calendar months, California the preceding or current calendar year, and New York the immediately preceding four sales tax quarters. Florida DOR source data last retrieved 2026-06-09.
- Does Florida use a transaction-count threshold?
- No. Florida's remote-seller rule uses taxable remote Florida sales over $100,000 in the previous calendar year. Unlike states that still use a 200-transaction trigger, Florida does not add a transaction-count test for remote sellers.
- Do marketplace sales count toward my Florida threshold?
- Florida DOR says a marketplace seller must register if it has Florida physical presence or makes more than $100,000 in taxable remote sales to Florida customers outside the marketplace. When a registered marketplace provider certifies that it collects and remits Florida tax, the marketplace seller does not collect tax on those marketplace transactions.
- What tax do I collect after crossing the Florida threshold?
- After crossing Florida's remote-seller threshold, collect the 6.00% Florida state sales tax plus any applicable county discretionary sales surtax on taxable Florida deliveries. Florida DOR says remote sellers and marketplace providers must collect discretionary surtax when delivering tangible personal property to a county that imposes it.
- When did Florida's remote-seller threshold take effect?
- Florida's remote-seller and marketplace-provider registration rule took effect July 1, 2021. TIP #21A01-03 says persons making a substantial number of remote sales for delivery into Florida must register with the Department and collect, report, and remit Florida sales tax and discretionary sales surtax.
