NFIB applauds cell phone, TV tax cuts
As part of his ongoing push to cut Florida’s taxes by nearly $1 billion over the next two years, Gov. Rick Scott proposed $470 million in state cell phone and TV tax cuts.
According to the governor’s office, “an average family spending $100 a month on cell phone and cable services will save about $43 annually.”
“With our cell phone and TV tax cut, every Florida family is saving real money- around $40 a year for spending as little as $100 a month between cell phone, cable and satellite bills,” Scott said in a prepared statement. “Our economy is improving and while it’s tempting for government to always think they can spend your money better than you – it’s your money!”
Scott is expected to release his full budget proposal in the coming weeks.
“NFIB applauds Gov. Scott’s proposal to cut taxes on cell phone and TV bills,” said Bill Herrle, Florida executive director of the National Federation of Independent Business. “This is a tax cut that will go directly toward putting money back in the pocket of virtually every Florida family.”
