Governor DeSantis Signs Florida’s Tax Cut Package
Will provide over $168 million in savings for families and businesses
PENSACOLA, Fla. – Today Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law House Bill 7061, Florida’s Tax Cut Package, to ensure our state remains one of the most tax-friendly environments in the nation.
“In Florida, we are providing more than $168 million in taxpayer savings for families and businesses,”
said Governor Ron DeSantis. “I’m proud that we have legislative leaders like Senate President Wilton Simpson, Speaker Chris Sprowls, Senator Ana Maria Rodriguez, and Representative Bobby Payne who understand that we empower Floridians through tax cuts – not increases. From sales tax holidays to permanent tax exemptions helping seniors live independently, I am committed to continuing to reduce the tax burden for all residents of our state.”
