"Florida Offers Tax Breaks for Disaster Preparedness and Memorial Day Shopping"

Florida's disaster preparedness sales tax holiday and freedom summer tax holiday will provide tax breaks on essential items, summer vacation items, and entertainment. The disaster preparedness holiday runs from May 29 to June 9 and again in August, while the freedom summer holiday runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The tax-free items include pet and laundry supplies, toilet paper, soap, smoke detectors, portable generators, fishing and camping supplies, toys, athletic equipment, sunscreen, bug spray, and admission to state parks. These tax holidays are part of the largest tax relief plan in Florida's history, signed into law on Thursday.
