Transient Tax
My current renters had to leave two weeks early to get back to Canada due to the virus. I have to pay a whole month of transient tax at the beginning of the month. My question is, will Florida refund the transient tax for the two weeks not used as rental?

is document the rental and the vacancy date. And wait another month before checking with the tax office. By then they might have new policies to account for these circumstances. |

How do you pay transient tax before they stay .You pay the tax after a stay ...I'm confused
Tax on $2000 is $180 not $120

So yes you're right it will be more - but how much more will depend on which county the property is in. |

I'm not underpaying anything. I'm a homeowner resident, not a landlord. I don't pay any transient tax.

I pay my transient tax after the month is over. So, to clarify, on April 1st I will pay the transient tax for the month of March. If my tenants leave early and I choose to give them a partial refund, because I'm a nice guy, then after the month is over I will figure out the total tax. And even if you make a mistake, you can go back and file an amended tax. This is all done online on the FL DOR website. I rent a house in The Villages, in Sumter county and I am required to pay 9%.

Thanks for all the responses. I have to pay the whole rental tax on the first of the month that the renters are renting since that is when I received the rental payment. I was not aware you can pay a month after. I would get hit with a late fee if that was done. I figured how much was paid and the amount for 15 days vacant would come to $140.00 that I am looking at getting a refund for. Why should the state get that if the rental was vacant? And yes I am refunding the difference to the renters for when they had to leave. I know times are bad now and these are issues that never had to come up before, I want to help others in the same situation.

Is the transient tax the same as the tourist tax. If so, in Sumter it is 9%, 8% plus 1%. The tourist tax is paid monthly or quarterly to the state (a killer). If it is the same, unless a refund was given, one would not be entitled to a refund from the state. If a refund was given, just subtract those funds from your next payment and you should be even.

You are paying the first of the month on the monies from the previous month. There usually is a grace period as well.
