Questions and Answers about Registration
What if my business has more than one location?
Sales tax: You must complete a separate application for each location.
Gross receipts tax on electric power or gas: You have the option of registering all locations under one account number or separately
registering each location. If you choose to register each location, you will need to submit a separate application for each.
Documentary stamp tax: You must register each location where books and records are maintained. You may register up to five locations on
the DR-1.
Communications services tax: You must register each location separately.
Unemployment tax: Only one registration per entity that has its own Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) is required.
Solid waste fees and pollutants tax (rental car surcharge): You must register for each county where you have a rental location.
What if I am managing commercial or residential rental property for others? For sales tax, commercial property managers must use this
application; one application per property location. Residential property managers may use Form DR-1C, Application for Collective Registration for
Short Term Rental of Living or Sleeping Accommodations.
If a husband and wife jointly own and operate a business, what type of ownership must we indicate? Normally, when a husband and wife
jointly own and operate a business, the ownership is a “partnership.” We suggest you contact the Internal Revenue Service for more information on
partnership reporting requirements.
What will I receive from the Department once I register? 1. A Certificate of Registration or Notification of Liability for the tax(es) for which
you registered; 2. Personalized returns or reports for filing, with instructions; 3. For active sales tax and communications services tax dealers, an
Annual Resale Certificate will accompany the Certificate of Registration.
What is an Annual Resale Certificate? The Department issues Annual Resale Certificates to active, registered sales tax dealers and
communications services tax dealers. The Annual Resale Certificate allows businesses to make tax-exempt purchases from their suppliers,
provided the item or service is purchased for resale. A copy of a current Annual Resale Certificate must be extended to the supplier; otherwise, tax
must be paid on the transaction at the time of purchase. Tax Information Publication (TIP) 99A01-34 explains the resale provisions for sales and
use tax. TIP 01BER-01 explains the resale provisions for communications services tax. Consult the Department’s website for further information.
Misuse of the Annual Resale Certificate will subject the user to penalties as provided by law.
What are my responsibilities?
1. You must register for all taxes for which you are liable before beginning business activities, otherwise you may be subject to penalties. For
more information, visit our Internet site or contact Taxpayer Services.
2. Complete and return this application to the Florida Department of Revenue with the applicable registration fee. IF MAILING, DO NOT
SEND CASH. SEND CHECK OR MONEY ORDER.
3. Once registered, post your certificate (if required); collect and/or report tax appropriately; maintain accurate records; file returns and reports
timely. A return/report must be filed even if no tax is due.
4. Notify the Department if your address changes, your business entity or activity changes, you open additional locations, or you close your
business.
5. Provide your certificate or account number on all returns, payments, and correspondence with the Department.

Section A - Completing the Application – Line-by-Line Instructions
1. Reason for submitting application and dates. There are several different reasons for submitting this application, but only one can be used
for each application submission. Check the box next to the appropriate reason for submitting this application (Check only one from a - f).
a. New business entity: A new business entity is a newly formed or organized venture begun for purposes of generating income. This
entity is an individual or organization that has never registered with the Department of Revenue before. If this is your reason for using
this application, on the following pages answer the questions as they apply to your entire business entity. Provide the date the new
business began or will begin activity in Florida.
b. New/additional Florida business location: This is when a registered business entity opens an additional business location. The original
business location is already registered and remains open. If this is your reason for using this application, on the following pages only
answer the questions as they apply to the new location. Provide the date the new business location began or will begin operations.
If you file consolidated returns for your existing locations, and wish to include this new location in your consolidated filing, check the box
and provide the consolidated filing number.
c. New taxable activity at previously registered business location: At an existing location that is already registered, you begin a new taxable
business activity for which the location is not currently registered. If this is your reason for using this application, on the following pages
only answer the questions as they apply to the new business activity. Provide the date the new activity began or will begin.
EXAMPLE: You are a sole proprietorship that sells items at retail. You are already registered to collect and report sales & use tax.
Because business is going well, you plan to hire employees. You should use this application to register for unemployment tax only.
d. Change of Florida county: A registered business entity closes its location in one Florida county and opens a location in another. This
is not the addition of a new business location. If this is your reason for using this application, on the following pages only answer the
questions as they apply to the new location. Provide the date the location moved or will move from one Florida county to another.
Provide the old location’s certificate/account number. This number will be cancelled. If you file consolidated returns for your existing
locations, and wish to include this new location in your consolidated filing, check the box and provide the consolidated filing number.
e. Change of legal entity/business structure: A registered business entity changes its organizational structure to become a different entity
(i.e., a sole proprietorship becomes a corporation; a corporation becomes a limited liability company, etc.). If this is your reason for using
this application, on the following pages only answer the questions as they apply to the new business entity. Provide the effective
date of the legal entity change. Provide the old entity’s certificate/account number. This number will be cancelled and final returns must
be filed.
f.
Purchase/acquisition of existing business from another person or entity: This is when a person or entity acquires the organization, trade,
or business, or substantially all of the assets of another person or entity. The purchased/acquired organization, trade, or business may
continue to exist, or may be totally absorbed into the purchasing/acquiring entity’s organization. If this is your reason for using this
application, on the following pages answer the questions as they apply to your entire business entity, including the purchased/
acquired portion. Provide the effective date of the purchase/acquisition and the information required in Question 11.
2. Is this a seasonal business? If your business will not be open year-round (open only part of the year), check the Yes box and provide the

• If you checked box 3 in Question 42, you are eligible for the .75 percent (.0075) collection allowance if the vendor’s database has been
certified. If not, the .25 percent collection allowance (.0025) will apply.
Dealers with multiple databases may need to file two separate returns in order to maximize their collection allowances.
• If all databases are certified or a ZIP+4 method is used, then the dealer is entitled to the .75 percent (.0075) collection allowance.

file a single return for all taxable sales from all databases and receive a .25 percent (.0025) collection allowance. The second option is to
file two returns: one reporting taxable sales from certified databases (.75 percent allowance) and a separate return for the taxable sales
