Georgia's tax free week used to be an annual event. However, legislators have not passed the bills necessary to reinstate the sales tax holiday since 2009. If the policy does in fact change for 2011, this page will be updated to reflect that information.-Meanwhile, shoppers who wish to take advantage of a sales tax holiday should consider driving to a nearby state, such as Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina or Tennessee.
Florida
Florida law directs that no sales tax or local option taxes (also known as discretionary sales surtax)will be collected on sales of clothing, footwear, and certain accessories selling for $75 or less, oron certain school supplies selling for $15 or less. This three-day tax exemption is in effect from 12:01 a.m. on Friday, August 12, 2011, through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, August 14, 2011.
The sales tax exemption applies to each eligible item of clothing selling for $75 or less and to
each eligible school supply item selling for $15 or less. The exemption will still apply no matter
how many items are sold on the same invoice to a customer.
The exemption does not apply to any item of clothing selling for more than $75, or to any
school supply item selling for more than $15.
