    Back-to-School Tax free Shopping

    The Florida Tax Relief Act
    Looking for a way to save a little money on back to school purchases? Starting at 12:01 a.m. on August 4th until midnight on August 13, 2007, the Florida Department of Revenue is offering a nine day, tax free shopping spree on selected articles of clothing, wallets, backpacks and much more.

    Included in the list will be:

    Clothing and related items with a sales price of $50 or less,
    Books with a sales price of $50 or less,
    School supplies with a sales price of $10 or less.

    The tax savings is only for individual exempt items priced $50 or less. This means that a jacket priced at $55 is not tax exempt, but the purchase of 2 jackets priced at $45 each, are tax exempt. Selected school supplies priced $10 or less are tax exempt. There are no restrictions on the number of eligible items you purchase at one time or during the tax exemption period.
