Tax Cut on Business Rents

Taking the final bite out of his commitment to eliminate $500 million in taxes and fees for the upcoming legislative session, Gov.Rick ScottĀ announced Tuesday a proposal to cut sales taxes on commercial rents.The savings to Florida businesses: $104 million, according to a statement issued by Scott’s office.

The governor’s budget reduces the tax on commercial leases by one half of a percentage point from its current 6 percent.

The proposal is the last plank in a plan that includes the governor’s previously announced call for a $400 million reduction in car registration fees.

“The economic impact of a $100 million reduction in this tax would provide over $500 million in value to Floridians in terms of jobs and economic activity,” said Danny Smith, chairman of the Florida Realtors Commercial Alliance Committee, in a statement.
