Indoor Tanning Services Tax in Florida
Excise Tax for Indoor Tanning Services
Indoor tanning services (IRS no. 140) are required to pay collect and remit a 10% excise tax for their services under Obamacare. There are specific instructions for indoor tanning service providers who must file IRS Form I-720. The basic instructions are:
- The tax is paid by the person paying for the indoor tanning service
- The tax is collected by the person receiving payment for the indoor tanning services
- The collector must collect and remit the tax and file the return
- If the tax is not collected for any reason, the collector is liable for the tax
These instructions may seem simple enough, but just like with any tax form, completing and submitting Form 720 can be detailed and confusing. With help from a Palm Beach County tax attorney, however, you will not have to worry about the issue.
