For Immediate Release
December 2, 2002
FLORIDA SALES AND USE TAX – ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS REQUIRED
Effective January 1, 2003,
all Florida consolidated sales tax filers will be required to file their
returns and make payments electronically.
Taxpayers that were previously approved for a waiver from filing requirements
must reapply for a waiver from the new electronic filing requirements.
The old waivers expire on December 31, 2002. Without a valid waiver, taxpayers
filing their January 2003 sales and use tax returns, due in February 2003,
may incur penalties for non-timely filing and not submitting payments
and returns electronically. If a taxpayer is required to make estimated
tax payments, these are also due electronically.
If a valid waiver is obtained, the Florida DOR will accept a paper version
of Form DR-7, Consolidated Sales and Use Tax Return. Solid waste returns
and surcharge payments are also due electronically.
If you would like additional information or have any questions, please

Group at (281) 578-3700. E-mail lfontana@thesaltgroup.com
