ATLANTA-Both the Florida House of Representatives and Senate last week unanimously passed new industry-sponsored legislation that would exempt many advertising agency services from a state sales tax.
The bill, which will clarify many of the gray areas involving state sales taxes on advertising services, still needs to be signed into law by Gov. Jeb Bush. The new Republican governor has not taken a public position on the bill, but has supported similar legislation in the past.
The bill is a culmination of a 12-year effort by the state’s ad industry seeking legislation to rein in the actions of Florida’s Department of Revenue.
