From July 1 to July 7, 2021, Fla. consumers can skip sales taxes on fun-time items, such as entertainment admissions, sporting equipment and camping supplies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 Florida introduced a new sales tax holiday this year and chose dates that coincide with the July 4 holiday. From July 1 to July 7, 2021, many of the items purchased for leisure activities won\u2019t have an added sales tax.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The sales tax \u201cFreedom Week<\/a>\u201d covers admissions to music, sporting and cultural events, plus movies, museums, state parks and fitness facilities (for events from July 1 through Dec. 31, 2021). Purchases of certain annual passes and season tickets are also exempt.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n This sales tax holiday also applies to boating and water activity supplies, camping supplies, fishing supplies, general outdoor supplies and sports equipment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The purchase rules can be tricky, and it\u2019s best to confirm whether an item qualifies before shopping. According to the FAQs, for example, an outdoor gas grill is sales-tax exempt up to $250. However, if a consumer purchases a combination special \u2013 gas grill with a full tank of propane gas \u2013 for $350, the entire purchase is taxable and the gas-grill sales-tax savings won\u2019t apply.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Since some of the tax-free items have monetary caps, date limitations or unexpected rules, the Florida Department of Revenue posted a list of frequently asked questions<\/a> (FAQs) on its website.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Questions about a specific item may be found in Florida Tax Information Publication No. 21A01-05<\/a> or by calling the Florida Department of Revenue at (850) 488-6800.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n
