Sales Tax Holiday
April 23 – 25, 2016
You can purchase certain emergency preparation supplies tax free during the
2016 Emergency Preparation Supplies Sales Tax Holiday. There is no limit on
the number of qualifying items you can purchase, and you do not need to
issue an exemption certificate to claim the exemption.
This year’s holiday begins at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, April 23, and ends at
midnight on Monday, April 25.
These emergency preparation supplies qualify for tax exemption if purchased
for a price:
Less than $3000
Portable generators
Less than $300
Hurricane shutters
Emergency ladders
Less than $75
Batteries, single or multipack (AAA cell, AA cell, C cell, D cell, 6 volt or
9 volt)
First aid kits
Fuel containers
Ground anchor systems and tie-down kits
Hatchets
Axes
Mobile telephone batteries and mobile telephone chargers
Nonelectric coolers and ice chests for food storage
Nonelectric can openers
Portable self-powered light sources (hand cranked flashlights)
Portable self-powered radios, including two-way and weather band radios
Reusable and artificial ice products
Smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and carbon monoxide detectors
Tarps and other plastic sheeting
These supplies do not qualify for tax exemption:
Batteries for automobiles, boats and other motorized vehicles
Camping stoves
Camping supplies
Chainsaws
Plywood
Extension ladders
Stepladders
Tents
Repair or replacement parts for emergency preparation supplies
Services performed on, or related to, emergency preparation supplies
Additional Charges Affect Purchase Price
Delivery, shipping, handling and transportation charges are part of the
sales price. If the emergency preparation supply being purchased is taxable,
the delivery charge is also taxable. Consider these charges when
determining whether an emergency preparation supply can be purchased tax
free during the holiday.
For example, you purchase a rescue ladder for $299 with a $10 delivery
charge, for a total sales price of $309. Because the total sales price of
the ladder is more than $300, tax is due on the $309 sales price.
