year begins.
No Florida sales tax or local option tax will be collected during this time on the sale of the
following items:

- Certain school supplies with a sales price of $50 or less per item
- Learning aids and jigsaw puzzles with a sales price of $30 or less
- Personal computers or computer-related accessories with a sales price of $1,500 or
less, when purchased for noncommercial home or personal use
Among the allowed school supplies are the following: calculators, colored pencils, crayons,
pens, construction paper, lunch boxes, notebooks, glue, paste, staplers, markers, rulers and
scissors.
Examples of learning aids and jigsaw puzzles include electronic or interactive books,
flashcards, memory games, puzzle books, and search-and-find books, and toys intended to
