[Previous] [Next]

  • Introduced by Rep. Bruce Caswell on January 22, 2007, to define "premanufactured modular building unit" in the use tax law, and establish procedures for determining which components of the cost of such a structure are subject to the use tax paid by the retail purchaser. Note: Like sales tax, use tax is supposed to be levied on merchandise but not on labor, yet when a premanufactured building is sold the labor is already "built-in" to the retail price.
    • Referred to the House Tax Policy Committee on January 22, 2007.

1) manufactured or modular [by Anonymous Citizen on January 25, 2007]
Please get it striaght. Manufactured is a trailer constructed and assembled in a factory.
A modular is sections assembled on site,on the (property) made to Boca code. Someone needs to spend the time to define a bill as to what is what, not just blanket it, so there is no confusion.
