Why Florida does not withhold from wages
Article VII, Section 5 of the Florida Constitution says the state may not tax the income of residents beyond amounts that could be credited against a similar federal tax, which in practice means no personal income tax at all. The Department of Revenue's guide for new residents lists personal income tax among the taxes Florida does not impose, along with inheritance, gift and intangible property taxes.
Florida employers use only the federal Form W-4. Florida does tax corporate income, but that tax falls on corporations, not on employees' wages.
No county or city income tax
Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville and every other Florida city and county leave wages untaxed. Counties raise money through property taxes and an optional local sales surtax added to the state sales tax.
No employee payroll taxes
Florida has no state disability insurance or paid family leave deduction. Its unemployment program, called reemployment assistance, is funded by a reemployment tax that employers pay. The Department of Revenue states that workers do not pay reemployment tax and employers must not make payroll deductions for it.
What Florida taxes instead
The state's main revenue source is sales and use tax on retail sales, with a county discretionary sales surtax on top in most counties. Other taxes residents may pay include the communications services tax, fuel taxes and motor vehicle fees, and local property tax set by counties, cities and school districts.
What changed recently
- 2025: Florida repealed its sales tax on commercial rentals (office, retail, warehouse and self-storage space) for rental periods beginning on or after October 1, 2025. Wages remain untaxed by the state. Source

I moved to Florida from another state. Do I still owe my old state tax?
