This year Florida will not celebrate a "Back to School" sales tax-free holiday week.
Since 1998, Floridians have gotten used to most malls and chain stores being tax-free a week or so before school starts. However, this year Florida legislature did not approve of the tax holiday.
Many are wondering why Florida chose this year, of all years, to end the money saving and sales boosting week. Although many families and businesses would benefit from the tax break, Florida is looking towards which state funded programs, i.e. education, would bear the brunt of the tax holiday.
I suppose there isn't much point in Florida having a "Back to School" holiday if our state's educational system isn't up to par, but the tax break will surely be missed this year.
