Purchase eligible items and skip paying the sales tax. Florida offers an opportunity to save on eligible purchases during sales tax holidays when state sales taxes are waived for specific items. Next week, Florida is offering a sales tax holiday for tools.
Florida sales taxes are 6 percent, or $6 per $100 purchase. Regular state sales taxes on a $1,000 purchase are $60. Some regions levy local taxes, which usually are also waived.
Eligible items with no sales tax are usually within designated price points.
