In 2024, the back to school tax holiday is July 29-August 11, with a variety of tax-exempt items.
In Florida, state sales taxes are 6 percent or $6 for every $100 spent. Usually, in regions where additional local sales taxes are assessed, those taxes are waived. If you spend $250 on eligible items, you'll save at least $15 in sales taxes.
Individual qualifying items must be within designated price limits. School supplies of $50 or less. Apparel, footwear and accessories of $100 or less. Eligible personal computers and computer accessories for personal use for $1,500 or less. Eligible educational toys for $30 or less. There is no limit on eligible tax-exempt purchases as long as they are within the price limits.
If the price of an item is higher than the qualifying limit, the tax exemption does not apply.

- electronic book readers

The Mall at Wellington Green is a great family-friendly destination to stock up on back-to-school must-haves. Plus, the mall is hosting a fun, curb-to-classroom school fashion show with DJ Lexey on Saturday, July 30, from 2-4 p.m.
