454 So. 2d 30 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1984
The Department of Revenue (the Department) appeals from a trial court order which found that Rule 12A-1.08(3)(d) and (4), Fla.Admin. Code, is an invalid exercise of delegated legislative authority. Based on this court’s recent holding in North American Publications, Inc. v. Department of Revenue, 436 So.2d 954 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983), rev. denied, 449 So.2d 265 (Fla.1984), that Rule 12A-1.08(3)(d) and (4) is a valid exercise of delegated legislative authority, we reverse.
While we feel bound to follow North American, we feel that the instant publication, The Independent Florida Alligator (The Alligator) is factually distinguishable from the publication in North American
Is Rule 12A-1.08, Fla.Admin.Code, which requires taxation of all publications which are not sold but are given away, unconstitutional as applied to The Alligator and similarly situated school publications?
