Bill > H0111

This bill creates a new sales tax exemption for disabled veterans with a 100 percent service-connected disability rating in Florida. Under the proposed legislation, disabled veterans meeting this criterion will be exempt from paying sales tax on purchases. To claim this exemption, veterans must apply to the Florida Department of Revenue using a specific form and provide supporting documentation as required by the department. The Department of Revenue is mandated to develop rules for implementing this exemption. Specifically, the bill amends section 212.08 of the Florida Statutes to add this new tax exemption, which will go into effect on July 1, 2025. This legislation aims to provide financial relief to veterans who have sustained significant service-connected disabilities, recognizing their sacrifices by reducing their tax burden on retail purchases.
