It may feel as though summer just started, but it’s already time to begin shopping for back-to-school. Thankfully, this weekend, when many states will celebrate Tax Free Weekend, is your chance to save.
Tax Free Weekend is a holiday where no sales tax is tacked onto purchases for eligible items on a state-by-state basis. For the first weekend of August and several weekends thereafter, 16 states won’t impose sales tax on select items during the tax-exempt promotion. Consumers will save on many items for back-to-school like clothing, footwear, computers and school supplies.
The tax-free deals work automatically, with no special coupons or rebates needed. Stores will deduct the sales tax from purchases at the register in participating states. Consumers who live in states that do not offer tax exemptions during the weekend can simply travel to states that do and shop there.
Tax Free Weekend is an annual tradition generally held in the first two weekends in August to promote back-to-school shopping. The list of items eligible is long but each state has its own list of eligible items as well as the price cap for those items. Offers.com has a handy guide to review which items qualify in each state.
