Tax Law > Florida Sales Tax Problems


Recently, the State of Florida has intensified efforts to collect taxes from businesses that fail to remit sales taxes within the prescribed time. Department of Revenue agents are attempting to collect from businesses as well as from the individuals who are responsible for collecting and remitting these sales tax proceeds. Individuals who fail to remit sales tax proceeds within the prescribed period can face harsh sanctions including imprisonment. Sales taxes collected by business owners are considered property of the State of Florida the moment they are collected from the customer. As such, business owners are required to hold these funds in trust for the state and remit proceeds timely. Failing to do so may lead to a criminal prosecution for theft of state funds.
​
The best way to avoid these increasingly severe penalties is to reach out to the Department of Revenue to resolve the tax liability through a qualified attorney. Taxpayers who are in danger of being investigated by the Florida Department of Revenue should contact legal representation now to avoid large penalties and criminal sanctions. Miami Legal Center has qualified attorneys who are well versed in dealing with the Florida Department of Revenue and reaching a reasonable settlement.
