How are car loans in Florida calculated?

Florida includes the sale price and the doc fee in the taxable amount of an auto loan but does not include the trade-in value.

Therefore, car buyers get a tax break on trade-in vehicles in Florida.

The state tax rate is 6%, but the total tax must include a county surtax ranging from 1/2% to 2% levied upon a maximum of $5000 of the taxable value. Some counties do not charge the surtax.
