Florida Sales Tax and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in Florida

“Florida uniquely and broadly imposes sales tax on service warranties. So while the software and other new technologies and services may be exempt, the maintenance of them, regardless of whether such contracts include parts, is taxable in the state of Florida.”
