At a time when small businesses are managing high inflationary pressures and various workforce challenges, it\u2019s crucial that our local communities shop small and support Florida\u2019s Main Street. We encourage anyone preparing for the upcoming school year to seek out a small business for their school supplies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Florida\u2019s month-long Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday began this week and extends through Aug. 20, 2026. Shoppers can purchase qualifying back-to-school supplies exempt from tax during the holiday. The tax holiday was passed by the Florida Legislature and signed into law by Gov. DeSantis.
