“During this two-week period, we’re a one stop shop for all of our guests,” Mark Benitez, the Store Director at a local Target, said.

Benitez said during the tax holiday shoppers will avoid paying sales tax on school supplies that cost $50 or less, clothes and shoes under $100, and personal computers under $1,500.

“From Crayola crayons to folders and notebooks, expo markers and pencils,” Benitez said.

The back-to-school holiday was included in a broad tax package that lawmakers and Governor Ron DeSantis approved this year.
