Multistate policies effective on or after July 1, 2020, with Florida as the home state, are taxed at 4.94% for the Florida portion and 4.94% for the rest of the states, as well.
For example, if you have a Florida home state policy effective on July 2, 2020, broken out as follows:
- Florida = $5,000
- Georgia = $2,000
- Alabama = $2,000
It would be reported in SLIP+ as: Florida = $5,000 and Non-Florida = $4,000.
Premium is taxed at 4.94%, regardless of the state in which there is exposure. Any subsequent endorsements would be reported to FSLSO with the Florida and Non-Florida premium breakdown, and the entire premium would be taxed at 4.94%.The tax rate reduction does not apply to independently procured coverage (IPC). IPC policies are subject to a premium tax at the rate of 5% pursuant to F.S. 626.938. IPC multistate policies where Florida is the home state are taxed based on that respective state's tax rate and percentage of exposure.
