Back To School Tax Holiday Ends

Florida's 2026 Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday ends Thursday, August 20, so Gibsonton families still have through that date to buy qualifying items without sales tax. The Florida Department of Revenue lists exemptions for clothing, footwear and bags priced at $100 or less per item; certain school supplies priced at $50 or less; learning aids and jigsaw puzzles priced at $30 or less; and personal computers and certain accessories priced at $1,500 or less for noncommercial home or personal use. Items outside the listed limits and categories remain taxable.
