(Public Use Forms), and Rule 12A-1.0015 (Sales for Export; Sales to Nonresident Dealers and Foreign Diplomats), F.A.C., is to reflect the amendments to paragraph 212.06(5)(b), F.S., provided by section 43, Chapter 2025-208, L.O.F., which requires the Department report the state sales tax rate and discretionary sales surtax rate in the Department's "Tax and Address Lookup System" as zero for each eligible certified address with a unique five-digit zip code provided by the United States Postal Service.
