    Is rental income from real estate subject to sales tax in state of Florida
    Is rental income from real estate subject to sales tax in state of Florida?
    I have a house that I rented out, I have been told the rental income is subject to sales tax. I had rental property in California, I never paid sales tax the rental income.

    Can someone please confirm this for me.
    Thanks
