Florida Tool Time SALES Tax Holiday
September 3 – 9, 2022
by Martin Group
This is Florida’s first ever tool time tax holiday which begins Labor Day weekend, September 3rd. This means shoppers won’t pay sales tax on most of the things found on a skilled worker’s list of tools and equipment. Tool Sales Time Tax Holiday ends September 9th, 2022.
