What this rate covers
Florida caps the 1% county surtax at the first $5,000 of any ONE item of tangible personal property — not at $5,000 per receipt, so a multi-item total pays the surtax on the whole amount. Items normally sold in bulk, or that assemble into one working unit, count as a single item. The cap does not apply to admissions, transient rentals, services, service warranties, motor-vehicle parking or storage, boat dock or marina charges, aircraft tie-down, or prepaid calling arrangements.

How do I calculate sales tax in Miami?
Multiply the taxable purchase price by 7%, then add the tax to the pre-tax price. A $100 general taxable purchase produces $7.00 of tax. That covers a receipt with more than one item. For a single item above $5,000, the Miami-Dade County surtax stops at the first $5,000, so the rate on the rest of that item is 6%.
Does every purchase in Miami use the 7% rate?
