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

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

This year, shoppers will have five days to purchase back to school items without paying the state sales tax.

The sales tax holiday will begin on Friday, August 2nd and runs through Tuesday, August 6th.

During the sales tax holiday, certain school supplies selling for $15 or less per item will be tax free as will clothing, footwear, and certain accessories selling for $60 or less per item.

Computers and certain accessories selling for $1,000 or less per item will also be tax free, when purchased for noncommercial or personal use.

There is a list of items that will be tax free available through the Department of Revenue.

We have posted a link to the list on the Oyster Radio facebook page and at Oysterradio.com so you can check it out for yourself.
