2007 Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday planned for summer
Governor Crist and the Florida Legislature have approved Senate Bill 1456, which provides that the 2007 Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday will begin at 12:01 a.m., Saturday, August 4, 2007, through midnight, Monday, August 13, 2007.
Senate Bill 1456 provides for a sales tax holiday on:
- 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 Department of Revenue (DOR) has developed a Tax Information Publication (TIP # 07A01-07) to provide specific information on the Sales Tax Holiday. The TIP was mailed to all active registered sales tax dealers the last week of June.
Also available:
- A text-only version of TIP #07A01-07
- A series of questions and answers to provide additional information on the Sales Tax Holiday
- A Sales Tax Holiday list of tax-exempt items that you may download for business use; PDF file (44 KB) Acrobat Reader is required
Development of an Emergency Rule to implement the 2007 Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday is under way.
