NASHVILLE, Tenn. – State Rep. Clay Doggett, R-Pulaski, is encouraging residents of House District 70 and all Tennesseans to take advantage of the upcoming back-to-school tax-free weekend.
The state’s annual sales tax holiday is set for Friday, July 25 through Sunday, July 27. Qualified purchases include clothing and shoes valued at $100 or less, school and art supplies costing less than $100 per item, and computers and tablets priced under $1,500.
“Preparing to send children back to school can be an exciting and expensive process,” said Doggett. “This sales tax holiday will help ease the financial burden by providing relief to Tennessee families as they purchase classroom supplies, clothing and other eligible products. I encourage families in Giles, Lincoln and Lawrence counties to make the most of these savings.”
Eligible items, including shirts, shoes, pens, backpacks and binders, among others, can be purchased tax-exempt online and in person.
Tennessee’s Republican supermajority has provided more than $5.1 billion in tax relief to citizens since 2011. The Volunteer State collects no personal income tax and consistently ranks as one of the most fiscally responsible and lowest-taxed states in the nation.
