Floridians Pay the Ninth Highest CST in the Country
Did you know that nearly every Floridian pays a communications services tax (CST)? Those are taxes charged on landline and mobile phones, cable television and satellite services, by both your local government and the state.
Worse yet, Floridians are paying the ninth highest CST in the country.
The Florida Chamber is working to reduce the CST by lowering the local CST rate in favor of a more streamlined rate system. Doing so will:
• Lower costs on families and job creators, and
• Make Florida more competitive by increasing predictability for businesses.
Please join us in thanking Senator Travis Hutson for advancing this Florida Chamber-backed bill. Email Senator Hutson at Hutson.travis.web@flsenate.gov.
