Freedom Week: 2022 Sales Tax Holiday

Consumers can purchase qualifying recreation and outdoor items and admissions to entertainment and cultural events exempt from tax during the 2022 Freedom Week Sales Tax Holiday.

Passed by the Florida Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis, the sales tax holiday begins Friday, July 1 and extends through Thursday, July 7.

The sales tax holiday applies up to a certain amount for each item, and then tax is applied for any remaining amount over the limitation. For example, if an item is tax exempt up to $30, but it costs $35, only the additional $5 is assessed tax, which still provides an incentive to purchase. HorizonWestInfo.com may receive a commission for items purchased through the below links.
