Claim payment Q/A
- Question: Are payments made by British Petroleum to Florida businesses—solely in settlement of a business claim for lost revenue as a result of the Gulf Oil Spill—subject to Florida sales and use tax?
- Answer: No. Payments made by British Petroleum to businesses to settle claims for lost revenue are not subject to Florida sales and use tax. These payments are considered to be a claim for damages.
Businesses and individuals in Florida who receive compensation from British Petroleum may need to report these payments on their federal income tax return. In order to determine what is taxable, taxpayers should seek guidance from their federal tax advisor or the Internal Revenue Service.
