Paperwork and rules for Florida businesses online
A few rules apply to any McIntosh business that sells or advertises online:
- Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act makes deceptive or unfair practices in trade unlawful, and that includes what a business says about itself on its website. Section 501.204, Florida Statutes
- If your website sells products, collect 7.5% on most taxable sales delivered in Marion County: 6% state tax plus the county’s 1.5% surtax for 2026. DR-15DSS (2026)
- Florida counties and cities may each levy a local business tax for the privilege of doing business in their jurisdiction (Chapter 205, Florida Statutes), so a business can owe a county receipt and a city receipt. In McIntosh, that means asking Marion County and the Town of McIntosh. Sections 205.032 (counties) and 205.042 (municipalities), Florida Statutes
