For our family it's a little late for this here in Florida since we homeschool and began today, but public schools begin classes August 16 and 23; with colleges resuming on August 23. Thankfully, I stocked up last year. :) If you haven't purchased your school books, supplies and/or clothes, you might want to wait until Friday to stock up. In past years I believe this tax break has lasted for one week. This year it is for ONE WEEKEND. Florida 2010 Tax-Free Days are August 13-15.
From our Governor:
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.
Our local newspaper had an excellent article yesterday with the full details. Go to THIS LINK.
