A CPA firm for Tampa, FL businesses
Scalesight CPA's Tampa office gives Tampa Bay owners a local address and a local phone number for the same CPA-led team that handles our clients' tax, books and CFO work everywhere else. Business tax preparation is the core, and it is backed by year-round planning, a monthly close and fractional CFO reporting. See the full list on our services page.
Tampa had 384,959 residents at the 2020 Census, and Hillsborough County had 1,459,762. The region is known for ports, healthcare, tourism and finance, but the owners who call us usually run contractors and trades, distributors and logistics near the interstate corridor, medical and dental practices, restaurant groups and professional services firms that have outgrown a once-a-year preparer.
A Florida address removes state personal income tax, but it does not remove federal tax, Florida's corporate income tax on C corporations, sales tax, or the residency questions a former home state may still ask. Getting those right is where a CPA earns the fee.

Florida tax rules Tampa owners run into
No personal income tax, with limits
Florida does not tax individuals' income, so S corporation, partnership and LLC profits that flow to an owner are not taxed by the state. C corporations, and LLCs that elect to be taxed as one, still file a Florida corporate income tax return at 5.5 percent of income above a $50,000 exemption.
Sales tax in Hillsborough County
The state rate is 6 percent and Hillsborough County adds a 1.5 percent discretionary surtax for calendar year 2026, so most taxable sales in the county are taxed at 7.5 percent (FDOR Form DR-15DSS). The surtax applies only to the first $5,000 of a single item of tangible personal property.
Annual report and Sunbiz
Florida corporations and LLCs file an annual report with the Division of Corporations between January 1 and May 1. A late report on a for-profit corporation or LLC carries a $400 fee, and an entity that never files is administratively dissolved.
Tangible personal property
Businesses that own furniture, computers or equipment file Form DR-405 with the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser by April 1. The first $25,000 of assessed value is exempt, but you generally have to file to claim it.
Commercial rent
Florida repealed sales tax on commercial rent for rental periods starting on or after October 1, 2025 (FDOR TIP 25A01-04). Confirm how that change applies to your lease before you budget.
Moving from another state
Owners relocating from a high-tax state should document the move: a Florida driver license, voter registration and a Declaration of Domicile. The former state may still tax income earned before the move, and some states review departures closely.
Rates and thresholds change. We confirm the current rules for your business before filing.
Tampa areas and nearby cities we serve
The Tampa office works with businesses across Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties. Most of the work happens through secure document sharing and scheduled video meetings, so a company in Clearwater or Wesley Chapel gets the same service as one a few minutes from Eisenhower Boulevard.

Tampa, FL CPA questions
Where is Scalesight CPA's Tampa office?
At 5130 Eisenhower Blvd S, Tampa, FL 33634, in the Town 'n' Country area of Hillsborough County. Call (656) 255-4978 to set up a time before visiting, because most client work happens by video.
Do Florida S corporations pay state income tax?
Generally no. Florida does not tax individuals, and S corporation income passes through to the owners. A C corporation, or an LLC taxed as one, files the Florida corporate income tax return and pays 5.5 percent on income above the $50,000 exemption.
What is the sales tax rate in Hillsborough County, Florida?
Most taxable sales are taxed at 7.5 percent for calendar year 2026: the 6 percent state rate plus Hillsborough County's 1.5 percent discretionary surtax (FDOR DR-15DSS).
When is the Florida annual report due?
Between January 1 and May 1 each year on Sunbiz. Filing after May 1 adds a $400 late fee for for-profit corporations and LLCs, so we put it on the same compliance calendar as your DR-405.
I moved my business from New York to Tampa. Do I still file in New York?
Possibly. New York can tax income you earned while you were a resident and income still sourced to New York after the move. We prepare part-year returns and help you document the change of domicile.
Can the Tampa office handle clients outside Tampa Bay?
Yes. The Tampa number reaches the same team that serves clients in all 50 states. Florida owners with operations in other states get multi-state filings from one firm.
