Delta suing Florida for $1.7 million in over-paid taxes
Delta Airlines is suing the state of Florida for more than $1.7 million in overpaid taxes dating back to 2012.
The Atlanta-based airline filed the lawsuit in Tallahassee, alleging four audits show it overpaid the Florida Department of Revenue and the department denied its request for a refund.

Delta, which services airports across the state, says the issue is due to the way the state viewed the tax, listing it as a sales tax and not a “use tax.”
The airline is requesting both a refund from the state for the $1.7 million as well as interest on the money.
The state has not responded. Read the complaint below:
