Governor Scott Eliminates Sales Tax on Manufacturing Equipment
-Marks Legislative Victory at Tampa Manufacturer-
TAMPA – Today, Governor Rick Scott signed HB 7007 into law, his legislative priority that eliminates the sales tax on the purchase of manufacturing equipment. The Governor signed the bill in Tampa at Heat Pipe Technology Inc., which designs and supplies energy recovery technologies to commercial air-handling equipment manufacturers.
Governor Scott said, “I am honored to sign HB 7007 today which will eliminate taxes on the purchase of equipment to encourage manufacturing companies like Heat Pipe to grow in Florida and strengthen our economy. Manufacturers in Florida have been disadvantaged and not on a level playing field because we were one of few states that taxed the purchase of manufacturing equipment. By removing the tax on manufacturing equipment, Florida businesses will now be able meet their full potential and finally be able to effectively compete against other states and countries. Today is a great victory for Florida families.”
