Florida Intangible Personal Property Tax - A Summary
Intangible Personal Property Tax -- Chapter 199, F.S.

Every corporation or person who is a legal resident of Florida or who manages or controls intangible personal property having a taxable situs in this state, must file an Intangible Personal Property Tax Return (form DR-601I and DR-601C), available from local Department of Revenue Service Centers or by calling Taxpayer Services.

Intangible personal property has a taxable situs if it has a business situs in Florida and/or if it is owned or managed by a person transacting business in Florida. Examples of taxable intangible personal property include, but are not limited to: accounts receivable, stocks, trusts, notes, bonds, leases, repurchase agreements, loans to and from shareholders, and limited partnership interest. Examples not subject to tax include: money, savings accounts, checking accounts, intangibles owned or issued by federal/state credit unions, State of Florida issued bonds or notes, and franchises.

There are two types of intangible personal property taxes:

1. Annual tax payable to the Florida Department of Revenue, which applies to natural persons, corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, and associations; and
2. Nonrecurring tax collected by the Clerk of Circuit Court, which applies to any loan, note, or other obligation secured by a lien on Florida real property. For more information, call the Department of Revenue Service Center nearest you or Taxpayer Services.
