FLAHIGA credit taken by ABC, based on the 1995 FLAHIGA
assessment, was $1,600 ($200 for 8 years). In 2005 FLAHIGA
issued ABC a refund of $40,000 from the 1995 assessment.
Per s. 631.72(3) F.S., a $320 payment is due the Department
of Revenue in 2005 from that refund ($40,000 X .001 X 8

2005 is a repayment of the FLAHIGA credits that the insurer
had already claimed in tax years 1997 through 2004 against
its insurance premium tax or corporate income tax for the
$40,000 that was refunded by FLAHIGA. For tax years 2005
and thereafter, ABC should only use a payment of $160,000
to FLAHIGA for its 1995 assessment when computing its
FLAHIGA credit.
