Tax-Free Weekend starts Friday
House Bill 483, the Back to School Sales Tax Holiday, designates a three day sales-tax holiday from August 13 through 15, 2010, on school supplies, books, clothing, and footwear. The tax holiday is expected to save Florida families $26 million.
“Our children deserve to have the resources and materials they need to be successful and competitive in the classroom. I am confident this tax break will help students, families and businesses as they prepare for a new school year,” said Gov. Crist, when he signed the law in May.
During the sales tax holiday, Floridians will not pay sales tax on books, clothing and footwear that cost $50 or less, as well as school supplies that cost $10 or less. In January 2010, Crist presented the Back to School Sales Tax Holiday to the Legislature as part of his policy and budget recommendations for the 2010-11 Fiscal Year.
