On February 14, the House Ways and Means Committee passed the House tax package, which includes a reduction in the Florida-only Business Rent Tax. This targeted tax reform will provide a more equitable and competitive tax system for Florida.
WMC 18-03, better known as the Florida House tax package, would reduce the Florida-only business rent tax from 5.8 percent to 5.5 percent and create sales tax holidays for hurricane preparedness and back-to-school. Reducing the business rent tax will allow businesses, particularly small businesses, to hire more employees, raise wages and invest back into their businesses.
