Purpose:
The purpose of this rulemaking is to update the Department's rules regarding compromise authority to address 2021 legislative changes contained in Chapter 2021-2, Laws of Florida. Section 5 of the chapter law amends Section 212.0596, to provide for the taxation of remote sales. Rules 12-13.007 and Rule 12-13.0075 are being updated to allow penalty to be compromised based on reasonable cause on transactions involving remote sales of consumer goods when the person is not required to register as a dealer and has paid use tax and interest on the item. Section 11 of the chapter law amends Section 212.12, Florida Statutes, to eliminate the sales tax bracket system for calculating sales and use tax and replaces it with a rounding algorithm. Rule 12-13.0075 is amended to reflect this change by eliminating obsolete guidelines for compromising tax, interest, and penalty for the failure to use the bracket system.
