Do suppressors qualify for the Florida sales tax holiday?

Yes. Suppressors and silencers are listed as qualifying firearm accessories by the Florida DOR for the 2026 holiday.

Is the Florida sales tax exemption the same as the $0 federal NFA tax?

No. These are two separate benefits. The $0 federal NFA making and transfer tax is a federal tax reduction effective under the October 9, 2026 ATF guidance. The Florida sales tax holiday is a temporary state-level exemption running September 1 through December 31, 2026. Both may apply to an eligible suppressor purchase during the holiday period.

Do I still need a background check to buy a suppressor during the holiday?

Yes. The Florida sales tax holiday does not change any federal or state transfer requirements. Form 4473, background checks, and all applicable Florida requirements still apply.

Yes — Suppressors Are Included

Suppressors and silencers are specifically listed by the Florida Department of Revenue as qualifying firearm accessories during the 2026 Hunting, Fishing & Camping Sales Tax Holiday.

That means an eligible suppressor purchased during the September 1 through December 31 holiday period may qualify for the Florida sales tax exemption.

Suppressors and silencers are included among eligible accessories under Florida's 2026 Hunting, Fishing & Camping Sales Tax Holiday. Separately, ATF issued new federal NFA nonenforcement guidance effective October 9, 2026. Eligible suppressor transfers may now qualify for processing without mandatory Form 4 approval under federal policy, although Form 4473, background checks, applicable state laws and other transfer requirements still apply. Voluntary Form 4 registration remains available. Note that the Florida sales tax exemption and the $0 federal NFA transfer tax are two separate and distinct benefits.
