Ron DeSantis
“We can do this tax relief, really, without breaking a sweat at this point,” DeSantis said as he announced the proposal at the Anna Maria Oyster Bar Landside in Bradenton. But DeSantis said the reserves making the proposal possible are a result of Florida having “a lot of great economic activity. Our state policies are reinforcing that.”Among other things, it would provide permanent sales-tax exemptions for baby diapers, baby wipes, cribs, strollers and clothes and shoes for children under age 5. This year’s tax package included a one-year tax exemption for baby diapers and clothes.
DeSantis also wants taxes lifted for a year on household pet food and would create a permanent tax exemption for over-the-counter pet medications such as products for flea and tick prevention.
