§ 46-56. Intent to increase communication service tax.  


Latest version.
  • It is the intent of the town to increase its local communications services tax rate as provided in F.S. § 202.19. F.S. § 202.19 provides that notwithstanding any provision of F.S. ch. 202 to the contrary, any municipality that has a local communications services tax conversion rate established under F.S. § 202.20 which is less that the maximum rate established under F.S. § 202.19 may by resolution or ordinance increase its rate up to the maximum rate established under F.S. § 202.19 with such increased rate to be effective October 1, 2001. For the period beginning on October 1, 2001, and ending September 30, 2002, the maximum rate established under F.S. § 202.19 is deemed to be the sum of such maximum rate plus the difference between the conversion rates set forth in F.S. § 202.20(1)(a) and (b). The municipality must notify the department of revenue of such increased rate by certified mail postmarked on or before July 16, 2001. It is the further intent of the town to increase its local communications services tax rate effective October 1, 2002, as provided in F.S. § 202.19(2)(a) to the maximum tax rate of up to 5.1 percent for municipalities that choose not to levy permit fees.
