Purpose


: 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 incorporate the reduced electronic filing threshold and to provide the taxes for which a taxpayer meeting the electronic filing threshold beginning January 1, 2023, will be required to either pay taxes by electronic means or to file tax returns and pay taxes by electronic means.
