Home/News/Press Releases/ State celebrates elimination of manufacturing machinery & equipment sales tax
2014年5月1日,星期四
Law went into effect April 30, will help grow Florida’s more than 18,000 manufacturing companies
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. –Today, Governor Rick Scott celebrated the elimination of the manufacturing and equipment sales tax on Florida’s manufacturing companies. The law, which took effect April 30, was one of Governor Scott’s top priorities during the 2013 legislative session to encourage manufacturing companies to grow and locate in Florida. According to Enterprise Florida the elimination of the tax is expected to save the more than 18,000 manufacturing companies in the state approximately $141 million annually.
斯科特州长说:“长期以来,佛罗里达州制造业一直背负着制造设备销售税的重担,而许多其他州并不要求企业缴纳。然而,随着我们对制造业机械和设备销售税的取消昨天生效,其他州的这一优势也随之结束。通过取消这项税收,佛罗里达州的企业将比其他州和国家拥有更大的竞争优势,这将有助于佛罗里达州的企业为家庭创造更多就业机会。”
The legislation fully eliminates an outdated five percent “productive output” requirement for businesses to receive a sales tax exemption on equipment. Until January 1, 2013, manufacturers were required to show proof of meeting a 10 percent productive output requirement. Governor Scott reduced this 10 percent requirement to 5 percent in the 2012 legislative session.
“The elimination of the manufacturing machinery and equipment sales tax removes a big hurdle for economic development in Florida,” said Secretary of Commerce and president and CEO of Enterprise Florida, Gray Swoope. “The removal of the tax levels the playing field as we compete with other states in the Southeast for manufacturing jobs. When you combine the elimination of the tax with our strong workforce, top-ranked infrastructure and global access, Florida makes a very compelling case as a state that businesses must look at for location and expansion opportunities.”
Florida manufacturers是国家经济的强大经济引擎。除了免除对制造商不必要的税收外,佛罗里达州强大的劳动力和一流的基础设施使其成为制造商的理想州。佛罗里达州在制造各种商品的机构方面名列前十,包括航空航天产品、电池、食品和饮料、通信设备、药品、半导体、船只等。

佛罗里达州的制造商和出口商是该州经济的有力组合。制造业占佛罗里达州出口的85%至90%。
佛罗里达州的制造商占该州总产量的5.1%,雇佣了4.3%的劳动力。
