TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/NSF) – After House and Senate leaders reached an agreement on the issue, the House next week could pass a plan that would require out-of-state online retailers to collect sales taxes on items sold to Floridians.
The House is scheduled Wednesday to take up the proposal (HB 15), which comes after years of Florida businesses lobbying to require out-of-state retailers to collect and remit the taxes.

Sprowls and Simpson also agreed that the additional sales-tax money eventually would be used to offset a cut in a commercial rent tax.
That would occur after the unemployment fund is replenished. The Senate last month passed its version of the bill (SB 50), which has been a priority of Simpson. Economists have estimated that the proposal could generate $973.6 million in the upcoming 2021-2022 fiscal year and $1.08 billion in each following year, according to the House and Senate.
