Florida’s Back To School Sales Tax Holiday Is Next Weekend
July 27, 2014
Florida’s back to school sales tax holiday is coming up next weekend.
The tax holiday will run Friday through Sunday, August 1 to August 3, and will allow Floridians to buy clothes, school supplies and personal computers without paying sales taxes. The back to school holiday expands a discount introduced last year on computers and raises the tax-free bar from $75 to $100 on the prices of clothing, bags and backpacks.
Last year, sales taxes weren’t collected on personal computers and related gear worth under $750. This year, no sales taxes will be collected on the first $750 of any computer and related gear, regardless of the overall cost of the piece of electronics.
After the back to school holiday, shoppers from September 19 through September 21 will be able to avoid sales taxes on the first $1,500 of the price of new Energy Star and WaterSense products, as part of an energy conservation proposal from Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam.
