Even though we are still on summer break school is starting in just a few weeks. The weekend of August 2-4, 2013 is a sales tax holiday for Florida. This means that no Florida state or local sales tax will be collected on clothing, footwear, and certain accessories selling for $75 or less per item, on certain school supplies selling for $15 or less per item, and on computers and certain accessories selling for $750 or less per item. So getting ready for school can be a little cheaper! The Florida Department of Revenue has more information posted online on this Tax Information Publication and a list of eligible items you can get by scanning this QR Code with your smartphone. Happy shopping!
