Oak Lawn Newsletter - Friday, August 21
Greetings!
SALES TAX HOLIDAY /
TAX FREE WEEKEND
 August 21 - 23
According to the State Comptroller's web site, Texas shoppers get a break from state and local sales taxes on August 21, 22 and 23 - the state's annual tax holiday. Lay-away plans can be used again this year to take advantage of the sales tax holiday. As in previous years, the law exempts most clothing and footwear priced under $100 from sales taxe.
Effective this year, in addition to clothes, footwear and some backpacks, Texas families also get a sales tax break on most school supplies priced at less than $100 purchased for use by a student in an elementary or secondary school.
For an enhanced listing of what qualifies for tax exemption this weekend, visit this website:
