The surtax took effect on January 1, 2019 and the first distribution of surtax revenues was received by Broward County from the Department of Revenue in March 2019. The State of Florida retains 3% of all sales surtax revenues collected on an annual basis. FY2019, which covers the period of October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019, (i.e. only 9 full months of surtax revenue receipts) generated $282,631,200. FY2020, a year like no other in recent memory because of the COVID-19 impacts, saw a $62M decline over surtax revenue projections — from $361M to $299M. With the economic uncertainty of COVID 19 remaining, full impacts on revenue projections are still unknown.
