Sales Tax Holiday

The two-week tax break can help Floridians prepare for storms as the peak of hurricane season approaches. A separate "tool time" tax holiday happens next month.

The state next week will begins a 14-day tax "holiday" that will allow shoppers to avoid paying sales taxes on items such as clothes, school supplies, and laptops.

The tax “holiday” will allow shoppers to avoid paying sales taxes on a wide range of recreational items and activities throughout July.

The annual back-to-school sales tax holiday starts Monday and lasts two weeks. National chains like Kohl’s and Target have already announced sales.

Year-long tax “holidays” allow shoppers in Florida to avoid paying sales taxes when they buy certain appliances and gas stoves.

Florida’s first “tool time” sales-tax holiday for tools and other home-repair and construction items will kick off during the Labor Day weekend. The seven-day holiday runs from this Saturday through Sept. 9.

As summer break winds down and students gear up for the academic year, a back-to-school tax “holiday” on items such as clothes and school supplies is set to begin Monday.

Wrapped around Independence Day for the second year, a sales-tax holiday dubbed “Freedom Week” will provide tax breaks on a wide range of recreational activities and outdoor gear.

Floridians will be able to save on supplies useful in a hurricane through June 10th.

The House has approved a tax package that would lead to sales-tax “holidays” on back-to-school supplies and hurricane gear, as well as a “freedom week” related to entertainment and outdoor activities.
