Florida\u2019s commercial lease sales tax rate, also known as the Business Rent Tax, will be reduced from 4.5% to 2.0%, providing Florida employers with at least an estimated $1 billion in tax relief beginning June 1, FloridaCommerce said.

\u201cBy slashing Florida\u2019s commercial lease sales tax by more than half, we are easing the strain on Florida employers making it easier for them to grow their business, hire new employees and continue to thrive,\u201d Florida Secretary of Commerce J. Alex Kelly said. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Florida Realtors\u00ae has long advocated for a reduction of the state sales tax rate charged for the rental, lease or license to use real property. Prior to the advocacy effort, the state sales tax rate was 6% on all commercial leases. This 2.5% reduction is the single biggest cut since Florida Realtors began advocating for the elimination of the Business Rent Tax years ago.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
