TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Blaise Ingoglia is reminding Florida families to take full advantage of the 2025 Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday, which begins Friday, August 1, and runs through Sunday, August 31. Thanks to legislation supported by Governor Ron DeSantis, this annual tax holiday now runs the entire month of August and is a permanent part of Florida’s budget. The Back-to-School tax holiday provides Florida families with long-term savings during one of the most expensive times of the year.

This month-long tax holiday gives parents a meaningful opportunity to save money while making sure their kids are fully prepared. I’m proud that Florida is leading the way by offering permanent, practical tax relief that helps families, students, and our communities.”
