Maybe this:
  Florida does not have a state individual income tax. Florida has a 5.50 percent corporate income tax. Florida has a 6.00 percent state sales tax rate, a max local sales tax rate of 2.00 percent, and an average combined state and local sales tax rate of 7.02 percent.

BL will also collect local sales tax where applicable. If you look at orders
from California, for example, you'll see wildly different tax rates.

This. Florida's state sales tax is 6%, but there are also local taxes. If
like me you're in Palm Beach County, the county adds another 1%.

I just checked a recent order I got from Florida and it was taxed at 7.5%. I
googled the city's sales tax and sure enough, its combined sales tax rate
is 7.5%.
