What food are taxed in Florida?

Answer 1

THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED AND ANSWERED MANY TIMES BEFORE. IT IS PART OF THE DATABASE HERE. PROPERLY USING THE SYSTEM WOULD HAVE PROVIDED THE ANSWER WITHUT ANY WAIT, (or inconvenience of others and use of limited resources). Prepared food is taxed. (Fast food, restaurants and a hot dog from a convenience store.) Ingredients of meals are not taxed, (raw meat, sugar, raw or canned vegetables - food.) While no one likes taxes, virtually all places that have a sales tax, while they may not tax food givng it a special exemption, they do tax sales of just about any tangible personal property or service, which includes meals. When exactly food becomes a meal is sometimes weird (for example, in many places, a pre-made sandwich at a supermarket is food, but the exact same one made custom is a meal. One roll is a meal, but 6 or more is food, etc.). Clearly, something like fast food (or a restaurant dinner) is a meal and subject to the tax - again, almost everywhere.
