Sales Tax Holiday

On Monday, Governor Jeb Bush signed legislation authorizing the first-ever 12-day sales tax holiday on hurricane-preparedness supplies. Being prepared for hurricane season can protect property and save lives. The Governor said “I hope this tax benefit will encourage Floridians to ready themselves, their families, homes and businesses for the 2005 hurricane season.” Florida taxpayers will save approximately $10 million during this sales tax holiday. Under the legislation, no state or local sales tax will be collected on certain hurricane-preparedness items from 12:01 a.m. June 1 through midnight June 12, 2005.
