Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Sales/Tourist Tax

Here is a doozy.

A local DOR office is saying if the lease has the Early Termination Addendum a/k/a Liquidated Damages Addendum (and that would be in the FAR/BAR lease and the Blue Moon-Florida Apartment Lease used by hundreds if not thousands of apartment communities in Florida and is provided for in law) the landlord must pay sales/tourist tax as it is not a "bona fide lease".

Does anyone have a contact high up in the DOR?  This could easily render a million or more current leases in effect taxable as seasonals if they take this position.
