Purpose


The purpose of the proposed amendment to Rule 12A-1.022, F.A.C. (Federal Excise Taxes, Gross Receipts Tax, and Other Fees), is to clarify that taxable charges for electrical power or energy include the gross receipts tax imposed under subparagraph 203.01(1)(a)1., F.S., but do not include the gross receipts tax imposed under subparagraph 203.01(1)(a)3., F.S. The purpose of the proposed amendment to Rule 12A-1.053, F.S., is to clarify that sales of electric power or energy for use in residential households by utilities who are required to pay the gross receipts tax imposed under subparagraph 203.01(1)(a)1., F.S., are exempt. The payment of the gross receipts tax imposed under subparagraph 203.01(1)(a)3., F.S., has no effect on the residential sales tax exemption.
