Florida House expands sales tax to cover more revenue
Florida House committees pushed a bill to broaden the three percent sales tax, aiming to add about 1 million dollars annually to meet growing appropriations. The proposal would raise the minimum tax from nine to 11 cents and lift limits on heavy machinery taxation while ending six month refunds for transient rentals. The measure accompanies nascent moves to create probes into crime and corruption among officials, with resolutions calling for a five member committee to investigate graft and a separate seven member panel to assess public accountability.
