Once a year, Florida gets a little break from taxes on the things families need most. Tax free holidays re a perfect time to make back-to-school purchases on books, school supplies, and clothing. Whether or not a school supply item qualifies as an exempt item is based on the labeling or packaging of the item.

Florida's 2007 Tax Free Days will run from Aug. 4-13, 2007.

Here is a list of the items included in the sales tax holiday:

• Clothing and related items with a sales price of $50 or less
• Books with a sales price of $50 or less
• School supplies with a sales price of $10 or less

The following items are "NOT" included in the sales tax holiday:

• Items packaged/labeled as "markers"
• Correction pens, correction fluids, tapes
• Items packaged/labeled as "notepads"

Purchases totaling greater than those amounts listed above (though you can break larger purchases into, smaller multiple purchases and still receive the tax break)
