Estimate checkout total

Enter the qualifying Florida medical marijuana product price. The sale is exempt from sales tax statewide, so no county rate is needed. Devices and unrelated items are excluded.

How the tax works

Florida law exempts qualifying medical marijuana and defined marijuana delivery devices from state sales tax. Because the county discretionary surtax applies to taxable sales, a qualifying medical marijuana product does not need a county tax rate either. On a $100 medical marijuana product sale, this estimate adds $0 tax and shows $100 before other charges.

This tool covers only a lawful medical marijuana product sold under Florida's program to a qualified patient or caregiver. It does not classify delivery devices or unrelated accessories for you, even though a device meeting the legal definition can also be exempt. Confirm product status, eligibility and any store charge with the medical marijuana treatment center.

Use a pretax retail price after discounts, excluding separately stated taxes. Tax-inclusive advertised prices must be converted to a pretax price first. Store fees, delivery charges and receipt rounding can change the amount owed; this estimate does not resolve their tax treatment.
