This is just a reminder that the Florida Sales Tax Holiday starts today. The holiday goes from today until midnight August 13th.

During the next 10 days would be a good time to get all of your school shopping done for your kids. Stock up on all the school supplies and school clothes for your kids now while also saving some money at the same time.

This holiday is statewide and recognized in all stores, so it doesn't matter where you shop. Here is a specific list of what is tax exempt and what is not. Please read through the list carefully, so you are aware of exactly what is exempt and what is not.

Happy shopping!!!

That is an interesting concept giving a tax holiday to help people out. We are lucky here that we don't have a sales tax. We have plenty of other taxes and "FEES" to make up for them though. Our government here doesn't raise our taxes they add fees and say we haven't raised taxes in years.

We don't pay state income tax here in Florida. It's kinda cool to see how things vary from state to state.
