As we prepare for our students to return to the classroom, be sure to enjoy the three-day “back-to-school” sales tax holiday from August 3 to August 5, 2018. During this sales tax holiday period, Florida law directs that no sales tax or local option tax (also known as discretionary sales surtax) will be collected on purchases of clothing, footwear, and backpacks costing $60 or less, and school supplies costing less than $15.
