AFP Tax Alert: SB 7206 Internet Sales Tax
TAKE ACTION AGAINST NEW TAXES: VOICE YOUR OPPOSITION TO
AN INTERNET SALES TAX
During a full-fledged recession, leave it to the Florida Legislature to propose a new tax - and one that they have questionable constitutional authority to enact. On Thursday morning the Senate Subcommittee on Finance and Tax, chaired by Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff, will propose SB 7206 for consideration. This bill would institute a new sales tax on Internet purchases if the retailer uses affiliates or referrals in the state. This bill aims to tax transactions by companies like Amazon, and has been proposed in a number of other states.

Despite what the bills proponents would like people to think, it will in fact harm Floridians by eliminating revenue for those companies that refer business. Similar proposals have also failed to bring in the revenue wind-fall many claimed they would.
To sum it up - SB 7206 is a tax increase through and through and we must put a stop to this bad bill!

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
