Businesses are required by federal and local tax authorities to collect and withhold certain taxes from their employees’ wages, including Social Security, Medicare, and Unemployment taxes.
At the federal level, businesses are generally required to register for an Employer Identification Number to ensure compliance with the IRS tax filing regulations.
In order to collect, accrue, and remit taxes and fees as established by state governments, a business must be registered with the appropriate jurisdiction. In Florida, the Department of Revenue requires businesses or entities that will collect the following taxes and fees to be registered:
- Sales and Use Tax
- Solid Waste Fees & Surcharge
- Unemployment Tax
- Gross Receipts Tax
- Documentary Stamp Tax
- Communications Services Tax
- Fuel Tax
- Pollutants Tax
- Secondhand Dealers/Secondary Materials Recyclers License
There is a range of documentary evidence and information that is required for a business to register with the Florida Department of Revenue, and each class or structure of business has its own requirements. The information that the Department of Revenue may request includes: Federal Employer Identification Number, organizational information including fiscal year and charter number, and owner information including address and Social Security Number.
For many of the taxes registration can be completed online, in person, or by mail. It is essential that the application for registration be meticulously accurate, as mistakes can result in not being properly registered which can precipitate other problems with respect to withholding taxes.
