Florida Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Mark Wilson spoke with the News Service of Florida about the recent elimination of Florida’s business rent tax. The change, which has been a focus for the Chamber, is expected to impact businesses across the state.

During the discussion, Wilson addressed the significance of this policy shift. “This is a historic win for job creators in Florida,” said Wilson. “Eliminating the business rent tax puts more money back into local businesses so they can invest in growth and create new jobs.”

The removal of this tax aligns with long-standing efforts by business advocacy groups to improve Florida’s economic climate. The measure is anticipated to help reduce operating costs for many companies that lease commercial space.

No additional details were provided regarding implementation timelines or further legislative steps.
