Taxes. Because rent is considered income, it is taxable to the extent that your income is taxable. For example, if your income (including rent) minus any allowable exemptions and deductions is still taxable, then your rent is taxable. However, if you also use the rental property as your home, and you rent it out less than 15 days out of the year, then the rent you collect is not considered part of your income.
For vehicles that are being rented or leased, see see taxation of leases and rentals. Florida collects a 6% state sales tax rate on the purchase of all vehicles. However, the total sales tax can be higher depending on the local tax of the area in which the vehicle is purchased in with a maximum tax rate of 1.5%. It should be noted that the local tax is only applied to the first 5,000 dollars of the cost of the vehicle.
