    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Section 213.755(1), F.S., authorizes the Executive Director of the Department of Revenue to require a taxpayer to file returns and remit payments by electronic means when the amount of tax paid by the taxpayer in the previous state fiscal year was more than $20,000. Effective January 1, 2023, Chapter 2022-151, L.O.F., reduces the electronic filing threshold for a taxpayer to file returns and remit payments from $20,000 to $5,000. The purpose of this rulemaking is to implement this law change and to provide a clarifying update.

    SUMMARY: : Beginning January 1, 2023, the proposed amendments to Rule 12B-5.150, F.A.C., incorporate the reduced electronic filing threshold of $5,000 requiring the electronic filing of tax returns and electronic payment of tax. Form DR-176 (Application for Air Carrier Fuel Tax License) is revised to notify taxpayers that file Form DR-182 (Florida Air Carrier Fuel Tax Return) of the lowered threshold amount requiring taxpayers to pay the tax associated with Form DR-182 by electronic means. Form DR-182 is also revised to notify taxpayers of the lowered threshold amount requiring taxpayers to pay the tax associated with Form DR-182 by electronic means. Form DR-904 (Pollutants Tax Return) is revised to notify taxpayers of the lowered threshold amount requiring taxpayers to file Form DR-904 and pay the tax by electronic means. Form DR-904 is also revised to provide clarifying language related to requesting a refund of pollutant taxes.

    SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

    The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the Agency.

    The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: 1) no requirement for the Statement of Economic Regulatory Costs (SERC) was triggered under Section 120.541(1), F.S.; and 2) based on past experiences regarding rules of this nature, the adverse impact or regulatory cost, if any, do not exceed nor would exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria in a SERC, as set forth in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S.

    Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
