An analysis of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' record during his first four years in office shows that he has cut taxes for businesses — but raised taxes on consumers
Sales tax on online purchases is leveling the playing field for brick and mortar stores and removing an unfair advantage to Amazon et al. However, giving all the tax money to businesses is another matter, indeed.
On a related note: I still try to purchase directly from Amazon when possible and therefore would have been paying sales tax since 2014 so... no expected personal effect.
I believe there’s a typo re business rent tax reduction - should read 5.5% to 5.2% (not 2)?
Thank you for this excellent reporting.

I wouldn't argue one way or another on whether SB 50 was a tax "increase" but it surely was bringing the tax situation in-line with other states. https://itep.org/a-visual-history-of-sales-tax-collection-at-amazon-com/
