Florida tax holidays won’t match 2023’s, but businesses might get another break
TALLAHASSEE — Florida lawmakers are pondering whether to cut a tax on commercial leases again this year as they scale back sales-tax holidays for consumers.
The House Ways & Means Committee on Thursday reviewed tax-cut concepts, including a possible reduction in the business lease tax, as the House and Senate prepare in the coming weeks to negotiate a tax package.
But committee Chairman Stan McClain, R-Ocala, agreed with Senate Appropriations Chairman Doug Broxson’s assessment that the final tax-cut package won’t reach a $1.3 billion total in the current fiscal year.
“It won’t be as robust,” McClain said after the committee meeting when asked a question using the same phrase.
McClain said his committee will roll out a proposal next week that could include shorter sales-tax holidays than last year, when the state offered two 14-day tax holidays for back-to-school items, two 14-day tax holidays for disaster-preparedness supplies, a three-month tax holiday for recreational items and activities and a seven-day tax holiday for such things as tools.
Frontier Airlines offers summer all-you-can-fly pass for the flexible traveler
Frontier Airlines is offering an all-you-can-fly summer pass for $399 for a limited time, the Denver-based carrier said Wednesday.
The “Go Wild!” pass offers access to all of Frontier’s U.S. and international destinations from May 1 to Sept. 30.
The promotion applies to destinations across the continental U.S., Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and Latin America, said James Fenner, Frontier Airlines’ vice president of pricing and revenue management. The pass is “a great fit” for people who can be flexible with their travel plans, he said.
Reservations can’t be made until the day before domestic flights and 10 days before international flights. For each flight, pass holders pay $0.01 in airfare plus applicable taxes, fees and charges at the time of booking.
Frontier said seats available to pass holders depend on capacity, are limited in quantity and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. The passes are available at FlyFrontier.com. Add-ons such as bags and seat assignments can be bought when the flight is booked.
