Purpose:    The purpose of the draft amendments to Rule 12A-19.100, F.A.C., is to adopt, by reference, changes to forms used to report the Florida Communications Services Tax Return (Form DR-700016) to update local tax rates for reporting periods beginning January 2025, and to remove returns for reporting periods prior to January 2024. When in effect, the rule will provide the final reporting period for the current tax return, January 2024-December 2024, and adopt a new Florida Communications Services Tax Return (Form DR-700016) with local communications services tax rates for reporting periods beginning January 2025. Also, the purpose of the draft amendments to Rule 12A-19.100, F.A.C., is to separate the instructions (Form DR-700016N) from the tax return (Form DR-700016).
