As students head back to class in the new year, the state of Florida will be holding its second, two-week Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday.
Parents will get a break from the state’s 7.02% sales tax from Monday, January 1, 2024 through Sunday, January 14, 2024 -- according to a news release from Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
No Florida sales tax or local option tax will be collected during this time on the sale of the following items:
- Clothing, footwear, and certain accessories with a sales price of $100 or less per item
- Certain school supplies with a sales price of $50 or less per item
- Learning aids and jigsaw puzzles with a sales price of $30 or less
- Personal computers, laptops, monitors, and certain computer-related accessories with a sales price of $1,500 or less, when purchased for noncommercial home or personal use
