Bill > S0990

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, qualifying veterans would be exempt from paying sales tax on certain purchases, but they must first apply to the Florida Department of Revenue for a tax exemption certificate. To obtain the certificate, veterans will need to complete a specific application form and provide supporting documentation as determined by the department. The Department of Revenue is required to develop and implement rules to administer this new exemption. The bill will go into effect on July 1, 2025, giving the state time to prepare the necessary administrative processes. By providing this tax exemption, the legislation aims to offer financial relief to veterans who have sustained significant service-related disabilities, recognizing their sacrifices and supporting their economic well-being.
