Purpose


Chapter 2009-131, Laws of Florida, authorizes the Department to promulgate an emergency rule, and to renew such rule, to implement the provisions of the law. The law provides that conditions necessary for an emergency rule and its renewal have been met. Section 201.02(1)(b), F.S., provides for the imposition of tax on transfers of ownership interest in a conduit entity when the transfer is within three years of a transfer of Florida real property into the conduit entity, documentary stamp tax was not paid on the full consideration when the real property was transferred into the conduit entity, and the ownership interest transferred belonged to the grantor of the real property. This emergency rule provides how the tax is imposed, when the tax is due, and examples of transfers of real property that would be subject to the tax.
