Moffa Tax Law: Florida State and Local Tax Attorneys

Moffa Tax Law is a Florida State and Local Tax (SALT) division of Moffa, Sutton & Donnini, P.A. Our practice is dedicated to helping businesses and individuals with Florida tax issues, including Florida sales tax audits, corporate income tax disputes, and property tax controversies.

The Florida Department of Revenue is more aggressive than ever in enforcing state taxes. We defend clients against sales tax assessments, corporate apportionment challenges, and nexus enforcement, while also providing planning and compliance strategies to reduce risk before disputes arise.

Our team includes Florida tax lawyers, CPAs, and former Department of Revenue officials, giving us unique insight into both the law and the agency’s tactics. Whether you need tax planning, audit defense, or litigation, we deliver the experience and focus to protect your business in Florida.

Tax Law Services

We defend businesses against Florida Department of Revenue audits and assessments while representing clients in disputes with county property appraisers, local tax collectors, and other taxing authorities across the state.

Planning

Our firm provides Florida state and local tax planning services to assist businesses and individuals to comply with Florida tax laws. Florida tax planning is critical, whether in the context of mergers and acquisitions or new operations within the state. While businesses are rightfully concerned with Florida sales tax and corporate income tax, Florida’s other nuanced state and local taxes can impact tax planning as well.

Audit

Guiding businesses through a variety of Florida tax audits, including sales tax audits and corporate income tax audits, is a key part of our practice. We work to defend taxpayers in disputes with the Florida Department of Revenue and other state and local agencies engaged in tax audits of businesses and individuals.

Controversy

When a Florida tax assessment has concluded, we are prepared to work with the Florida Department of Revenue to remedy audit errors. From Florida sales tax cases challenged in Tallahassee with the Florida Department of Revenue to local tax assessments challenged with local taxing authorities in cities and counties, we defend taxpayers in Florida state tax controversy cases at every level of appeal.

Litigation

In cases where litigation cannot be prevented, our firm litigates Florida tax cases against the Florida Department of Revenue and other taxing authorities in Florida Circuit Courts, the Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH), and Florida’s District Courts of Appeal. Uniquely, our attorneys are experienced both in direct Florida state tax cases and adjacent Florida administrative law challenges which can impact Florida tax assessments.

Refunds

Whether a Florida sales tax or income tax refund is sought from the Florida Department of Revenue, our SALT practice is knowledgeable in the technicalities of tax refund applications, challenges to refund denials, and tax refund litigation.

Practice Areas

Our Florida tax practice centers on defending businesses in Florida sales tax audits, assessments, and litigation with the Department of Revenue, while also handling corporate income tax disputes, apportionment controversies, and property tax appeals before local taxing authorities. By focusing exclusively on Florida State and Local Tax, we deliver comprehensive representation in every area where businesses face exposure

Sales and Use Tax

Unlike other states, the Florida Department of Revenue most heavily audits businesses for Florida sales tax compliance. Our Florida tax attorneys are experienced in handling all aspects of Florida sales and use tax, from planning, audit, refund, controversy, and litigation. Further, our team at Moffa Tax Law is experienced in assisting business both in and outside of Florida with sales tax nexus and taxability analyses

Corporate Income Tax

Florida corporate income tax issues are increasingly making their way to the courts as the Florida Department of Revenue seeks revenue from a wider scope of income. Our Florida state and local tax practice monitors the ongoing shift in policy in this area closely while working with taxpayers to keep them current on the changes. Issues ranging from Florida corporate income tax apportionment to income tax formula calculation errors are commonly faced by businesses operating in Florida, requiring an in-depth and comprehensive knowledge of Florida corporate income tax.

Property Tax

Florida property tax is administered locally, while the Florida Department of Revenue provides Property Tax Oversight. Our firm represents Florida taxpayers by working with both local agencies and the Florida Department of Revenue for fair and accurate tax law obligations of property owners.

Other Taxes

Our firm advises and represents clients with a wide range of Florida tax matters, including Florida Documentary Stamp Tax, Florida Communication Services Tax (CST), Florida Reemployment Tax, and Local Option Taxes, ensuring compliance and resolving disputes efficiently.
