Florida Is About to Make Guns, Ammo, and Suppressors Tax-Free

Florida is putting money where its Second Amendment rhetoric is — a statewide tax holiday on guns, ammo, and suppressors.
  • HB 7031-E passed Florida's May 2026 special session; awaiting governor's signature.
  • Sales tax exemption: September 1 – December 31, 2026.
  • Covers ammunition, firearms, and accessories including suppressors.
  • Part of Florida's broader pro-2A legislative streak including constitutional carry.
  • NRA credited Duggan, Perez, Boyd, Brodeur, and supporting legislators.

The amended agreement treats suppressors as firearm accessories eligible for the exemption — a meaningful detail in a state that has fought to expand NFA item access and recently saw open carry restrictions fall in court.

HB 7031-E now heads to the governor's desk. NRA-ILA credited Primary Sponsor and House Ways and Means Chair Wyman Duggan, House Speaker Danny Perez, Senate Majority Leader Jim Boyd, Senate President Pro Tempore Jason Brodeur, and all legislators who voted in favor.

Florida's gun-policy trajectory under Republican leadership has been consistently pro-rights: constitutional carry, preemption enforcement, litigation victories, and now a targeted tax break for the tools of self-defense and sport shooting.

A four-month sales tax holiday will not change anyone's constitutional status overnight. It will put real money back in buyers' pockets during peak hunting and holiday purchasing season — and send a signal that Florida treats firearms and ammunition as ordinary commerce, not sin-tax goods.

Watch for the governor's signature and exact implementation dates. Dealers and ranges should prepare for a busy fourth quarter.

"Four months. No sales tax. Guns, ammo, and suppressors."
