Florida is set to hold its first "tool time" sales tax holiday, during which consumers will be able to purchase plenty of items used by skilled trade workers free of sales tax.
The tax showdown begins Saturday, Sept. 3, and ends Friday, Sept. 9.
Qualifying items that are exempt from tax include:
- Toolboxes for vehicles and power tools selling for $300 or less
- Work boots selling for $175 or less
- LED flashlights selling for $50 or less
- And many more

There is no limit on the number of qualifying items customers can buy tax-exempt. If the item costs more than the limits, customers have to pay full sales tax.
This relief comes from House Bill 7071, which was signed in May 2022, and contains 10 tax relief holidays and exemption periods.
