Premium Tax; Rate and Computation

PURPOSE:

Section 17, Chapter 2014-184, Laws of Florida, provides that, for purposes of determining if a penalty under Section 624.5092, F.S., should be imposed on the underpayment of an installment, an insurer may reduce the installment amount required to meet the prior year exception in that taxable year by the amount of the credit earned under Section 624.51055, F.S. (Credit for contributions to eligible nonprofit scholarship-funding organizations). The amount required to meet the prior year exception may only be reduced with respect to contributions made on or after July 1, 2014.
The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12B-8.001, F.A.C. (Premium Tax; Rate and Computation), is to provide clarification regarding the computation of the installment payment amount required to meet the prior year exception when a taxpayer has made one or more qualifying contributions to eligible nonprofit scholarship-funding organizations.

SUMMARY:

The proposed amendments to Rule 12B-8.001, F.A.C. (Premium Tax; Rate and Computation), address the computation of the installment payment amount required to meet the prior year exception pursuant to Section 624.5092, F.S., when a taxpayer has made one or more qualifying contributions to eligible nonprofit scholarship-funding organizations.
