BEACH TAX FORUM - Nov. 1^st

Pensacola Beach Advocates (PBA) is sponsoring a Tax Forum on Tuesday, Nov. 1^st at 5:30 at the Beach Community Church Hall. PBA has invited Danny Kepner of Shell Fleming Davis & Menge and Ed Fleming of McDonald Fleming & Moorehead to update the status of the litigation and answer questions.

Topics will include:

· Tax on Improvements – the First District Court of Appeals recently “certified” the residential leaseholders’ challenge, thus opening the door (for the first time) for an appeal to the FL Supreme Court. Learn the next steps in this litigation.

· Tax on Land – we will need to file a separate challenge to the taxation of leased land in 2011. Learn how you can be part of this litigation.

· Other Novel Options – some leaseholders with older leases that are silent on the issue of taxation may have another way to transfer the burden of taxation.

This forum is open to PBA members and prospective members (Beach leaseholders). More information is available at www.pbadvocates.org.

This web site will be updated after the Beach Tax Forum so that those not able to attend can benefit from the questions and answers.
