It is an annual tax based on the market value, as of January 1, of the intangible property owned by a Florida resident or other person obligated to pay the tax. The return can be filed as early as January and is late if postmarked after June 30. Sales and Use Tax Florida's sales and use tax rate is 6 percent.
