A Florida Tax Warrant is the Florida Department of Revenue's version of a Lien. With regard to Sales and Use Taxes, it is a very serious matter, especially if it reflects taxes collected but not remitted. This is one of the few matters that will even follow a business through bankruptcy and, under certain circumstances, make the owners and employees responsible for remitting the tax personally liable both civilly and criminally. The Florida Department of Revenue takes these matters very seriously and publishes a list of people arrested for unpaid sales taxes monthly.
The issue may simply be that the business didn't properly report transactions and the Florida Department of Revenue is estimating taxes that may be due. Given the time constraints imposed on the Department of Revenue under the Statute of Limitations, the Department of Revenue will file a warrant to protect its right to collect money that may or may not be due.
In short, your friend needs a good attorney to represent him in this matter. It is not something that will simply go away. If fact, the warrant is usually filed by the Department of Revenue specifically because they want to maintain the right to come after the business and owners for potentially unpaid taxes.
