Hurricane Supplies Sales Tax Holiday, Florida Hurricane, Hurricane Preparedness, Hurricane Supplies Tax Holiday


Today was the beginning of Florida's sales tax holiday for hurricane preparedness.  The 2006 holiday runs from Sunday, May 21st through Thursday, June 1st.  No sales tax shall be collected on specific items related to hurricane preparedness. The specific items must be in the price ranges specified on the list.

 

Click here for a list of tax-exempt hurricane preparedness items (in PDF format).

 

A few stores are discounting some items by matching the tax-exempt portion. As an example, if a generator would normally sell for $600, the store is offering it for $564, tax-free, for a total savings of $72.  The amount calculated above is based on a 6% sales tax; some Florida counties have a tax rate that is slightly higher.
