Tax Change Proposals Pending In Tallahassee

Governor Ron DeSantis announced plans to eliminate the state’s business rent tax by 2027. Currently, Florida is the only state to tax business rent, and DeSantis believes removing it will further boost the state’s economy. The proposed phased reduction would save businesses an estimated $1.6 billion. The governor also highlighted additional tax relief measures, including sales tax holidays for school supplies and outdoor items, and potential changes to property taxes.
