12B-8.001: Premium Tax; Rate and Computation
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program, as amended by Chapter 2010-24, L.O.F., allows taxpayers to receive a credit allocation for contributions made to nonprofit scholarship funding organizations. This law expands the tax credits against corporate income tax and insurance premium tax, transferring Section 220.187, F.S., to new Section 1002.395, F.S., and amending Section 624.51055, F.S. Taxpayers continue to be allowed to apply for a credit allocation to be taken as a tax credit against insurance premium tax, as provided in Section 624.51055, F.S., as amended by Section 11, Chapter 2010-24, L.O.F. When in effect, proposed Rule Chapter 12-29, F.A.C., Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program, will establish the procedures governing the approval of tax credit allocations and rescindments, the approval for carryforward tax credits to a subsequent tax year, and the procedures to be followed by taxpayers when claiming tax credits on tax returns.
The purpose of the proposed changes to Rule 12B-8.001, F.A.C. (Premium Tax; Rate and Computation), is to remove provisions regarding the credit against insurance premium tax for contributions made to eligible nonprofit scholarship funding organizations that will be provided in Rule Chapter 12-29, F.A.C., when effective.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: The subject of the workshop is the proposed procedures governing the approval of tax credit allocations and rescindments, the approval for carryforward tax credits to a subsequent tax year, and the proposed procedures to be followed by taxpayers when claiming tax credits authorized by the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program, as amended by Chapter 2010-24, L.O.F.
