From midnight Friday until midnight Tuesday, shoppers can buy clothes, shoes, school supplies and computer equipment without having to pay state sales taxes.
Starting at 12:01 a.m. Friday and lasting until 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 6, Florida shoppers are able to buy clothes, shoes, school supplies and computer equipment without paying sales taxes – sometimes referred to as a sales-tax “holiday.”
Sales Tax “Holiday” for School Supplies Starts Friday
The holiday is billed as a back-to-school event, but it’s not only favored by parents trying to find bargains as kids get ready for school. Retailers like the holiday as a marketing opportunity. And legislators love touting tax breaks for ordinary families.
There are actually limits, however. This year’s holiday will enable shoppers to avoid paying sales taxes on clothes and shoes costing $60 or less, school supplies costing $15 or less and personal computers and accessories costing $1,000 or less.
An extensive description of the program and list of sales-tax-free supplies is posted on the Florida Department of Revenue’s website.
