How Do I Verify Sales Tax Exemptions in Florida?

By Business & Finance Last updated Tuesday, May/07/2024

1). Pull up the link to the Florida Department of Revenue Certificate Verification System (see the Resources section for the link).
2). Obtain the 13-digit exemption certificate number from the nonprofit organization. Contact the organization to let them know you need the number to work with them.
3). Use the drop-down menu to select "Sales Tax" as the reason for the verification request.
4). Enter the name of the organization in the first box and the 13-digit certificate number in the second box.
5). Click "Verify." The next page will verify if the organization holds a Sales Tax Annual Resale Certificate, Consumer's Certificate of Exemption, or a Communication Services Tax Annual Resale Certificate. If the organization is exempt from paying sales tax it will hold a Consumer's Certificate of Exemption.
