[RPPTL Leasing Committee] Sales Tax on Rent

Thu Nov 2 08:09:24 PDT 2023

Oh, do we know it will definitely be in 2024 that “the first day following the second month after the Florida Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund reaches its pre-pandemic balance (i.e. $4,071,519,600)” occurs?  Glad to hear we’re finally getting there.

Here’s my alert on this, with a bit more info: Florida’s Sales Tax on Commercial Leases Will Be Further Reduced on December 1, 2023 (with an Additional Reduction Pending) - Trenam<https://www.trenam.com/client-alert-floridas-sales-tax-on-commercial-leases-will-be-further-reduced-on-december-1-2023-with-an-additional-reduction-pending/>

And at some point in 2024 will go down to 2% (plus any county surtax) when the unemployment trust fund is replenished.

Greetings!

I am not sure if this has been circulated and I missed it or if this is a surprise, but someone mentioned in a social setting that the Florida Sales Tax rate on rent was going down a full point. This means 4.5% at the state level, plus any local surtax. Attached is the DOR bulletin.
