A:
In the state of Florida, including Lake County, acupuncturists are required to obtain a license from the Florida Board of Acupuncture to practice acupuncture legally. This is outlined in the Florida Statutes, Chapter 457.
However, regarding a tax permit for in-home treatment services, the requirements may vary depending on the specific business structure and the local county or city regulations. It is best to contact the Lake County Tax Collector's office and inquire about any necessary business tax receipts or permits for operating an in-home acupuncture service.
Additionally, it is advisable to consult with a local tax professional or attorney who specializes in small business taxation to ensure compliance with all applicable state and local tax laws.
In summary, while a state license is mandatory for practicing acupuncture in Florida, the need for a specific tax permit for in-home services may depend on local regulations in Lake County.
