The Florida Legislature has passed a bill including tax holidays for firearms accessories, and hunting, fishing, and camping supplies. Firearms silencers/suppressors are included as firearms accessories. If Governor DeSantis signs the bill, most of the act will take effect on July 1, 2026. The sales tax holiday for firearms, ammunition, and listed firearm accessories would run from September 1 through December 31, 2026.

The Florida Legislature passed HB 7031E, as amended by the Conference Committee Report, YEAS 29 to NAYS 6, on May 29, 2026. The bill passed the House a couple of hours earlier, 88 YEAS to 11 NAYS. The bill is a major taxation bill for Florida.  Earlier bill materials discussed a separate firearm-accessory exemption, but the enrolled bill places the firearm, ammunition, and firearm-accessory language in Section 43, the hunting, fishing, and camping sales tax holiday.

The firearm accessories are for pistols, rifles and shotguns which fire projectiles using an explosive charge.  According to the NRA, whether suppressors/silencers would be included in the bill was uncertain until the vote on May 29. An amendment had included them in the bill, but those tax holidays could have been stripped from the bill before the final vote.  They were not. If Governor DeSantis signs the bill, the items will be exempt from taxes in Chapter 212 of the Florida Statutes during the holiday period.

Firearms, ammunition, and listed firearm accessories are included in the hunting, fishing, and camping sales tax holiday, which runs from September 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026.

The accessories include:

Floridians vote in politicians that reduce spending and reduce taxes.

Others should try it.

“The government has deigned to grant the people it purportedly serves a holiday from taxation...”

Your cynicism is understandable.

Don’t forget people vote for higher taxes by electing people who vote for higher taxes. And people demand more and more goodies that require taxation.

Florida’s current legislature and governor are pushing back on some of that. I like it.
