Back to school sales tax holiday starts Friday

Florida’s annual back-to-school sales tax holiday begins this Friday.

This year, shoppers will have until August 16^th to purchase back to school items without paying the state sales tax.

As in previous tax holidays, clothing and shoes up to $75 are tax exempt, along with school supplies up to $15.

Personal computers and accessories selling for up to $750 are also tax free. 

That includes any electronic book reader, laptop, desktop, handheld, tablet, or tower computer, but does not include cellphones, video game consoles, digital media receivers, or devices that are not primarily designed to process data.

You can see a full list of tax free items posted at oysterradio.com and on the Oyster Radio facebook page.
