Cash Savings Beginning Today With Back To School Sales Tax Holidays
August 5, 2011
There’s a chance to save some cash on back to school shopping this weekend in Alabama and next weekend in Florida.
Alabama
Alabama’s back to school sales tax holiday is underway through midnight Sunday. However, in Escambia County, AL, Atmore and Brewton will not be participating. In Atmore and Brewton, shoppers will save the state’s four percent tax, but still pay the county and city tax rate. Flomaton will participate, with back to school purchases in Flomaton exempt from the state and city tax, but not the one percent county tax. Click here for a list of exempt items in Alabama.
Florida
In Florida, the sales tax holiday will be August 12-14 with no state or local sales tax on clothing, footwear and some accessories selling for $75 or less or certain school supplies for $15 or less.
