Today, Speaker Tom
Feeney and The Florida House of Representatives reiterated their
strong commitment to reducing the tax burden on Florida’s
families, seniors and savers. "The Florida House pledged to
increase education dollars. And we have. We promised to reduce
the burden of government on Florida’s citizens. And we are.
And we fulfilled our commitment to help Florida’s families
keep their hard-earned dollars," stated Speaker Tom Feeney. |
Currently, there are three
major initiatives in the House that will provide various forms of
tax relief for Floridians:
- House Bill 21, by House
Majority Leader Mike Fasano is the third phase of a four-step plan
to eliminate the Intangibles Tax on savings and investments.
- House Bill 251, by
Rep. Bev Kilmer, continues the popular sales tax holiday on clothing,
which many families depend upon to purchase back-to-school clothing
for their children.
- House Bill 573, by
Rep. Hugh Gibson, and Majority Whip Marco Rubio will exempt from
property taxes any home additions built to enable a family to care
for their aging relatives.
"These family and
senior-friendly tax cuts go straight to the heart of our Republican
beliefs. They end an unfair form of double taxation, encourage our
seniors and savers to be responsible with their finances and help
Florida families when they need it most. That is why I am supporting
these great bills: So that I can go tell people of my district that
this Legislature has fulfilled its commitment to let them keep more
of their hard-earned," said House Majority Leader Mike Fasano.
