A one-time local tax refund is available for the asking for longtime Hillsborough County residents.
An unconstitutional 1% sales surtax was imposed in Hillsborough County between January 1, 2019, and March 15, 2021. A Settlement resolved the case against Hillsborough County. The Settlement will use escrowed tax funds c(about $570 million) to pay money to eligible Class Members, as well as fund a temporary sales surtax holiday in Hillsborough County.
If you lived in or visited Hillsborough County any time between January 1, 2019, and March 15, 2021, you can claim a refund of some of the sales tax you paid during that time. These refunds are the result of a Settlement in a class action lawsuit. Most residents can easily claim $100 in about 5 minutes with an image of their driver’s license. Persons who incurred more than $10,000 in taxable purchases may wish to itemize and provide more documentation to claim a higher refund.
Claimants are part of one of the most epic sagas where tax and spend downtown liberals who attempted to bamboozle the electorate, disenfranchise the good residents of suburban Hillsborough County, and tax the working class, were turned back in the Supreme Court and then in the Legislature. Attorney Beltran was proud to be a small part of this effort.
