- Calder Race Course, Inc. (“Petitioner”); The Notice of Receipt of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in the Florida Administrative Register on September 14, 2017 at Vol. 43, No. 178. Petitioner sought a declaratory statement from the Department (based on a representative sampling of information provided with the Petition) as to whether leased slot machines as described in the Petition qualify for the multiple quantities of a single item limitation on surtax amounts greater than $5,000 under section 212.054, Florida Statutes, and rule 12A-15.004, Florida Administrative Code. The Department’s Final Order, issued December 5, 2017, declines to issue a declaratory statement because the Petition failed to substantially comply with section 120.565, Florida Statutes, and rule 28-105, Florida Administrative Code. The Department is unable to opine on the application of section 212.054, Florida Statutes, and rule 12A-15.004, Florida Administrative Code, to all of Petitioner’s leased slot machines based on a representative sampling.
A copy of the Petition for Declaratory Statement and Final Order Denying Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting Sarah Wachman Chisenhall, Agency Clerk, Florida Department of Revenue, Post Office Box 6668, Tallahassee, Florida 32314-6668, Sarah.Wachman.Chisenhall@floridarevenue.com, (850) 617-8347.
