From 8/13/10 through 8/15/10, consumers can enjoy a sales tax holiday throughout the state of Florida. According to the Florida Department of Revenue:

If you sell books, clothing, footwear, certain accessories, or certain school supplies in the State of Florida, the upcoming Sales Tax Holiday may impact your business. Florida law directs that no sales tax or local option taxes (also known as discretionary sales surtax) will be collected on sales of books, clothing, footwear, and certain accessories selling for $50 or less, or on certain school supplies selling for $10 or less.

The Florida Department of Revenue offers a wealth of information for business leaders to understand which items are eligible (e.g., barrettes and bobby pins), which items are exempt (e.g., football pads and helmets), and how to handle gift certificates, exchanges, refunds, returns, coupons, rain checks, layaway sales, and more.
