Sales Tax Holiday is back

Glad to see the return of the Sales Tax holiday, which we felt the loss of last year. However, it is only a 3-day one instead of a week long as in previous years. Following from the FDOR website:

Florida law directs that no sales tax or local option taxes (also known as discretionary sales surtax) will be collected on sales of books, clothing, footwear, and certain accessories selling for $50 or less, or on certain school supplies selling for $10 or less. This three-day tax exemption is in effect from 12:01 a.m., Friday, August 13, 2010, through midnight, Sunday, August 15, 2010.
The sales tax exemption applies to each eligible book or item of clothing selling for $50 or less and to each eligible school supply item selling for $10 or less. The exemption will still apply no matter how many items are sold on the same invoice to a customer.
However, the exemption does not apply to books or to any item of clothing selling for more than $50, or to any school supply item selling for more than $10.

I see the LBV Factory Outlets are also promoting a back-to-school sale that weekend, so there should be plenty bargains to be had there and very likely in lots of other locations too. Happy shopping!
