Gov. DeSantis previews back-to-school sales tax holiday, attacks Biden-Harris record on Israel
AVENTURA, Fla. – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis held a news conference Thursday morning at a deli in Aventura, previewing the state’s upcoming back-to-school sales tax holiday. “This is an opportunity to be able to save real money,” DeSantis said. “(It) will allow you to save money on the most important school supplies, including pretty much any school supplies selling for $50 or less is tax free. Clothing, footwear and other apparel $100 or less, tax free. Learning aids up to $30, tax free. Personal computers and other accessories with a sales price of $1,500 or less when purchased for non-commercial, home or personal use is tax free. So all of those things, if you’re doing it as a parent and particularly if you have more than one kid, that adds up very, very quickly.
