Purpose


The purpose of this rulemaking is to implement the provisions of s. 212.06(5)(b), F.S., as amended by Section 18 of Chapter 2021-31, L.O.F. These legislative changes create a process by which a forwarding agent may apply to the Department for and receive a Certificate of Forwarding Agent Address; the provisions require the Department to publish a complete list of certificate holders to its website. Tangible personal property which has been imported, produced, or manufactured in Florida is not subject to tax if the tangible personal property is delivered to a forwarding agent for export and if that forwarding agent holds a Certificate of Forwarding Agent Address. Rules 12A-1.0015 and 12A-1.097, F.A.C., implement these legislative changes.
