Florida charges 6% state tax plus a county surtax, and the surtax applies only to the first $5,000 of any single item. That means a register cannot simply apply one blended rate. Storeveu splits the calculation, handles the package store licence boundary, and tracks Florida Lottery commission on its own.
Serving independent retailers across Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, St. Petersburg and the rest of Florida.
These are the settings an FL store has to get right. Storeveu ships with them in place rather than leaving them for you to build.
6% plus county surtax
Counties add a discretionary surtax of roughly 0.5% to 1.5%, and some add none at all. Storeveu holds the surtax on the store record so a Miami-Dade and a Duval store share one catalog and still ring their own rate.
First $5,000 of a single item
The county surtax applies only to the first $5,000 of a single item, so a blended flat rate overcharges on big ticket sales. Storeveu applies the state rate to the whole amount and the surtax only to the capped portion, which matters the moment you sell equipment or high value cases.
6% on sales
Florida sets the retailer commission in statute and revisits it through the annual appropriations process, so it is held at state level and inherited by every store rather than typed in per location. Confirm the current year rate before go live.
Spirits need their own licence
Beer and wine sell under an off premise licence, while distilled spirits require a separate package store licence even in the same building. Storeveu keeps the two licensed areas as distinct categories with their own reporting so the audit trail stays clean.
The register is offline first. Cash sales keep ringing and upload on their own when the connection returns.
Starter and Pro are billed per store with a 3 month minimum and no early termination fee on the software.
Every record is scoped to your organization and store, and access is gated by role.

Florida applies the county discretionary surtax only to the first $5,000 of a single item, while the 6% state rate applies to the whole amount. Storeveu calculates the two portions separately instead of applying one blended percentage, so a high value sale is taxed correctly rather than being overcharged by a flat combined rate.
Yes. The 6% state rate is uniform but each county sets its own discretionary surtax, and some impose none. Storeveu holds the effective rate on the store record, so an operator running stores in more than one county keeps a single catalog and each store still rings its own correct rate.
Only if it holds a package store licence, which is separate from the beer and wine licence even when both sit in the same building. Storeveu treats them as distinct categories with their own reporting, so sales stay attributable to the right licence.
The retailer sales commission is set in Florida statute and is held at state level, so every Florida store inherits it and no one retypes it. Because Florida revisits the figure through its annual appropriations process, the rate is worth confirming at go live, and a store level override is available when an agreement differs.
Every plan is priced per store and billed monthly. The software has a 3-month minimum, then runs month to month with no early termination fee. Starter covers the register, the back office and the AI assistant. Growth adds lottery, fuel, loyalty, invoice scanning and tobacco compliance. Restaurant is built for restaurants and bars, and Pro includes every add-on. Current prices are always on the pricing page.
Yes, for cash. The register is offline-first: it keeps ringing cash sales with no internet and uploads them on its own when the connection returns. Card terminals need the internet to reach the processor.
The software has a 3-month minimum, then runs month to month with no early termination fee. Card processing is a separate 36-month agreement. Any early exit fee is listed on your application before you sign, and other charges can apply on a default, such as two months with no sales, so read the processing terms first. You can change tiers anytime.
