Back To School Sales Tax Holiday Returning In August
May 27, 2010
Florida’s back-to-School sales tax holiday is returning this August.
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist signed the legislative measure Wednesday, setting this year’s sales tax holiday from August 13 through August 15 on school supplies, books, clothing and footwear. During the sales tax holiday, shoppers will not have to pay sales tax on certain clothing items under $50 as well as school supplies that cost $10 or less.
Officials estimate the tax holiday will save families about $26 million.
“This tax break will enable Florida families to buy school supplies and clothing for the school year without the additional cost burden of state and local taxes,” said Florida Retail Federation lobbyist Sally West. “The tax holiday will also provide a much needed boost to Florida’s economy.
