Purpose


The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12A-19.100, F.A.C. (Public Use Forms) is to adopt, by reference, revisions to Form DR-700012 (Application for Certification of Communications Services Database), and Form DR-700020 (Notification of Method Employed to Determine Taxing Jurisdiction). Specifically, the revisions to form DR-700012, used by providers of communications services and vendors offering service address databases to apply to the Department for certification of a service address database: • update, reorganize, and simplify the instructions for submitting a service address jurisdiction database for certification by the Department; • advise applicants of the new information regarding errors found in the database provided by the Department after completing the testing of the applicant’s database; and • advise applicants of the requirement to submit a new application for certification of a database when there has been a material change. Revisions to Form DR-700020 clarify which communications services providers are not required to file the form with the Department and notify it of the methods to be used for determining the local taxing jurisdiction in which service addresses are located.
