Paperwork and rules for Florida businesses online

A few rules apply to any Belleair business that sells or advertises online:

• Local business tax receipts in Florida can come from the county and, inside city or town limits, from the municipality: for you, Pinellas County and Belleair. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
• Fake or bought reviews are illegal under a federal rule in force since 2024 (16 CFR Part 465): post only real ones. 16 CFR Part 465
• In Pinellas County, the 2026 discretionary sales surtax is 1.0%, so most taxable sales carry 7.0% in total (the state’s 6% plus the county surtax). DR-15DSS (2026)
• The Florida Digital Bill of Rights rarely reaches a local business: Controllers with more than $1 billion in global gross annual revenue that also meet one more test (for example, at least half of revenue from online ads, or operating an app store or smart speaker). A typical small business is outside it. Part V of Chapter 501, Florida Statutes (Sections 501.701-501.722)
