ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida’s back-to-school sales tax holiday ends Sunday, Aug. 31, and many shoppers are taking advantage of the tax break for qualifying purchases.
According to an August survey from the National Retail Federation, 37% of people who still had half of their shopping to do were waiting to find the best deals.
News 6 went to Academy Sports where not only are qualified purchases tax free, the company is also offering other savings.
Sunil Keshwah, visiting from Georgia, said his family didn’t know about Florida’s month-long sales tax holiday and that they would benefit.
“We’re really excited,” Keshwah said. “Definitely have some stuff on our list that we can make use of getting them while we’re here.”
