As the Enterprise Zone Coordinator, I have worked very closely with those local businesses that <br /> were trying to claim sales tax refunds on eligible purchases. It has been my experience that the <br /> program has become more of a burden than a benefit to small businesses. <br /> Providing better clarification to the eligibility criteria, and lowering the purchasing threshold, <br /> would allow more participation in the program. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> • Support the proposed text amendments as suggested: <br /> o Lower the minimum purchase price threshold to$500 <br /> o Changing the word"unit"to"purchase" <br /> • Support the recommendation offered by the EZDA, allowing an Enterprise Zone business to <br /> aggregate its purchases over time and submit for a sales tax refund. <br /> Contact information: <br /> FL Department of Revenue <br /> Marshall Stranburg, Interim Executive Director <br /> Florida Department of Revenue <br /> 5050 West Tennessee Street <br /> Tallahassee,FL 32399-0100 <br /> 850-617-8600 <br /> stranbumndor.st.fl.us <br /> Andrea Moreland, Legislative Liaison <br /> ,vow 850-617-8600 <br /> morelanandor.st.fl.us <br /> *A portion of this information was provided by: <br /> Robert Slate <br /> Strategic Systems, Inc. <br /> 9310 Old Kings Road S. #1602 <br /> Jacksonville, FL 32257 <br /> phone 904-636-0466 <br /> Indian River County Chamber of Commerce—Economic Development Division <br /> 1216 21st Street,Vero Beach, FL 32960 Phone: 772-567-3491 <br /> directored(lindianriverchamber.com <br /> 6 <br />
