Sales tax collected isn't extra spending money. It's money your business needs to track and remit.
A few reminders before your next filing:
• Confirm your assigned filing frequency and reporting period.
• Reconcile sales and tax reports from every sales channel with your books.
• Review refunds, exempt sales, and marketplace transactions so amounts aren't missed or counted twice.
• Check both the filing deadline and the electronic payment cutoff.
• Save your submitted return and payment confirmation.
Florida reminder: Registered businesses must file for each reporting period even when no tax is due. Returns are generally due on the 1st and late after the 20th of the following month. Electronic payment deadlines come earlier, so check the Florida DOR payment calendar instead of waiting until the filing deadline.
Outside Florida? Check your state's requirements.
Pro tip: Set a preparation reminder a week before the payment deadline. Give yourself time to investigate differences and confirm funds are available.
