Sales Tax Holiday
Aug. 9 - 11, 2013
Senate Bill 485 sets Aug. 9-11 as the dates of this year's annual Sales Tax Holiday. As in previous years, the law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend.
All sales of qualifying items made during the holiday period qualify for the exemption, including items sold online, or by telephone or mail. Lay-away plans can be used again this year to take advantage of the sales tax holiday. Check this link for more information:
