FLORIDA CHAMBER ACTION ALERT: Urge Lawmakers to Support Unemployment Comp Tax Relief!

February 10, 2012 | Print Print

Florida businesses are facing an $817 million tax increase in 2012!

Contact lawmakers TODAY and urge them to support unemployment compensation tax relief for Florida’s business community!

As a result of owing $1.7 billion in unemployment comp loans from the federal government borrowed in 2009 to meet the high unemployment benefit demand, unemployment comp taxes are scheduled to increase dramatically in 2012.

This tax increase represents an $817 million hit to Florida’s employers. As Florida’s economy begins to turn around, this is the last thing Florida’s businesses need.

Call or email your Representative and Senator by 5 p.m. TODAY and tell them that your business can’t afford a huge tax increase this year!
