Snow Ski Suits Tax exempt during Florida Sales Tax Holiday.

From Chas Laser.    The 2007 Florida Legislature passed and the Governor approved a tax-free period where no tax is collected on certain back to school items.

The following is a list of questionable Back-to-School items that will be tax free during this tax-exempt period.

Tax-exempt Back-to-school items during Florida's Sales Tax Holiday.

Perhaps some students will need these items for "Bring your kid to school Day"

A Must have item of fashion for students heading back to school.

A complete list of tax exempt items can be found at the state Department of Revenue's Web site http://taxlaw.state.fl.us/taxlawmenu.asp and click on 2005 Sales Tax Holiday.  You can see for yourself that I'm not making this up.
