Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program (FTC)

The Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program (FTC) was established in 2001 to provide an income tax credit for corporations that contribute money to nonprofit Scholarship-Funding Organizations (SFOs) that award scholarships to students from families with limited financial resources. In 2009, the program was expanded to provide credits against the insurance premium tax for contributions to eligible non-profit SFOs. In 2010, the program was expanded to provide tax credits against severance taxes on oil and gas production, self-accrued sales tax liabilities of direct pay permit holders, and alcoholic beverage taxes on beer, wine, and spirits. The purpose of the tax credit is to:

• Encourage private, voluntary contributions to nonprofit SFOs;
• Expand education opportunities for children from families that have limited financial resources; and
• Enable children to achieve a greater level of excellence in their education.
