Florida removes VoIP tax from books
Marguerite Reardon writes on C|Net News that:
Lawmakers in the Florida state Senate voted on the last day of the legislative session, Friday, to repeal a portion of the Substitute Communications Systems tax law. The tax could have been applied to companies that run their own VoIP networks as well as to commercial services from providers such as Vonage.
In March, a bill to remove the levy from the Florida tax code passed the State House of Representatives. But when the bill reached the state Senate, some senators changed the language from an outright repeal of the law to a moratorium, during which time the matter would be studied more carefully.
Opponents of the tax worked with legislators to push for the repeal.
