You will also find the forms you will need to get the business licenses and to file the sale's tax. That is all on the State's website. When you are finished with that, it will direct you to your County website. Or, you can call the County to find out what they require. It is a little complicated to get started, but once you get the required information, it will get easier each month that you have to report.

NOTE: If you click on the "Untitled 1" link, it will take you to the Florida website.

So what percentage of people do you think follow these rules ?
