Regional Manufacturing Associations such as SAMA were instrumental in the Sales and Use Tax Exemption which temporarily went into effect in 2014 and became permanent in 2017.

This exemption is available to any business whose primary business activity at the location where the industrial machinery and equipment is used to manufacture, process, compound, or produce items of tangible personal property for sale is specified in North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Codes (2007) 31, 32, or 33 (Manufacturing).

Florida offers tax credits, refunds, and other incentives to promote business development and job creation, including:

  • Incentives Related to Jobs
  • Incentives Related to Investment in Florida
  • Incentives Related to Machinery and Equipment
  • Incentives Related to Energy

In addition, on May 19, 2022, the Southwest Regional Manufacturers Association hosted, and CLA presented, a “Sales Tax Exemptions for Manufacturers” webinar.
