Be prepared! 2020 Disaster Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday begins Friday, May 29th and runs through Saturday, June 4th

It is that time of year again. Starting Friday, May 29th through Saturday, June 4th - Florida's 2020 Disaster Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday.

Be prepared! Preparing now can save you headaches if storm warnings do go up.  Proper preparation will allow you to avoid the lines and possible short supply that will occur if storm warnings go up as well as provide peace of mind that you are ready, even if we have a (fingers crossed) storm free season.

Please take the time to review the Florida Department of Revenue web page to view the details on qualifying items related to hurricane preparedness are exempt from sales tax.

One of the many things I learned as a Scout was Be Prepared.

During this sales tax holiday period, qualifying items related to disaster preparedness are exempt from sales tax. However, the sales tax holiday does not apply to the rental or repair of any of the qualifying items. Additionally, the sales tax holiday does not apply to sales in a theme park, entertainment complex, public lodging establishment or airport.

For more information and a list of qualifying items, please see the Department of Revenue's Taxpayer Information Publication on the 2020 Disaster Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday.

This is first of the 2020 season series.

Hurricane Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday - May 31 through June 8, 2014

Be prepared! Don't allow lack of significant storm activity over the last few years to lull you into misplaced complacency.

The holiday begins at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, May 31, 2014, and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, June 8, 2014. During this holiday period, qualifying items related to hurricane preparedness are exempt from sales tax.
