Shoppers Take Advantage Of Tax Free Bargains
August 14, 2011
Many Escambia County stores were packed over the weeknd as shoppers took advantage of Florida’s three day sales tax break.
At Target on Nine Mile Road, the Linam family of Molino stopped by after Ben Linam’s ninth grade orientation Saturday at West Florida High School. Ben and sister Kayleigh, a student at Ernest Ward Middle School, used the opportunity to look for a few tax-free school supplies.
“We are just seeing what we can find,” mom Lana said.
Florida’s 2011 Sales Tax Holiday ended at midnight Sunday. In general, the sales tax holiday meant no state or local sales tax on clothing, footwear and some accessories selling for $75 or less or school supplies for $15 or less.
