FL – Motor vehicle sales tax rates by state issued

Florida has issued motor vehicle sales tax rates by state as of January 15, 2025. Florida law allows a partial sales and use tax exemption on a motor vehicle purchased by a resident of another state. The amount of Florida sales tax to be collected from the nonresident purchaser is the amount of sales tax that would be imposed by the purchaser’s home state if the vehicle were purchased in that state. If the rate imposed in the purchaser’s home state is greater than or equal to 6%, the rate of Florida tax to be collected is 6%. The tax collected is Florida sales tax and must be paid to the Florida Department of Revenue. If the sales tax rate imposed in the purchaser’s home state is less than 6%, the purchaser may wish to claim a partial exemption from Florida sales tax. Tax Information Publication, No. 25A01-01, Florida Department of Revenue, January 15, 2025
