The Florida Department of Education, in collaboration with the Department of Revenue, has announced the commencement of the Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday. The event starts today, Monday, July 29, and will run through Sunday, August 11. This initiative allows Florida families to save on essential items needed for the upcoming school year.
“Students can achieve remarkable things when provided with the right tools for success,” said Commissioner of Education Manny Diaz, Jr. “Thanks to Governor DeSantis and the Legislature, Florida continues its promise of helping parents purchase school supplies for the coming school year. I encourage all families to take advantage of this great opportunity to save money.”
Jim Zingale, Executive Director of the Florida Department of Revenue, added: "The Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday is an excellent way for Florida families to save money on the supplies students need for a successful school year. Information about qualifying items is available on the Department of Revenue's website at floridarevenue.com/BacktoSchool."
Additionally, there will be a second Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday during the spring semester to help families replenish their student’s school supplies.
