Businesses can now direct sales tax collection allowances to classroom technology just by checking a box on sales tax remittance forms.

These funds will be used to purchase up-to-date classroom technology and provide teacher training in the use of that technology in all school systems throughout the state.

School districts will receive the collection allowances from sales tax collected in their county when they adopt a resolution that assures the money will be used for the stated use (classroom technology).

Last year $61 Million in collection allowances were retained by Florida sales tax collectors, and even more could be made available for classroom technology this year.

Just the box!
