CHANGES IN LOCAL COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES TAX RATES
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2008
Effective January 1, 2008, numerous local communications services tax (CST) rates will
change. These local tax rate changes are pursuant to an ordinance adopted by the
governing authority of the county or municipality. The local tax rate for CST includes both
the local rate imposed under the CST statute (Section 202.19, Florida Statutes) and the
discretionary sales surtax imposed under the sales and use tax statute (Section 212.055,
F.S.). The new rates are effective for all bills issued on or after January 1, 2008, regardless
of the date that the service is rendered or transacted. These rates will stay in effect until
further notice by the Department. This Tax Information Publication (TIP) includes rate
changes due to changes in the county discretionary sales surtax.
