NASHVILLE, Tenn. – State Rep. Jay Reedy, R-Erin, is encouraging residents to take advantage of Tennessee’s upcoming sales tax holiday.
The state’s annual back-to-school tax-free weekend begins on Friday, July 31 at 12:01 a.m. and ends Sunday, Aug. 2 at 11:59 p.m.
“Every student deserves to walk into the classroom with the tools they need to succeed,” Reedy said. “This sales tax holiday helps families save on back-to-school essentials while keeping more of their hard-earned dollars in their pockets.”
Qualified purchases include clothing and shoes priced at $100 or less, school and art supplies priced at $100 or less and computers or tablets priced at $1,500 or less.
Shoppers can purchase eligible items tax-free both online and in-person. Items purchased must be for personal use, not for business or trade.
Since 2012, Tennessee’s Republican supermajority has provided more than $5.2 billion in tax relief to citizens. The Volunteer State collects zero income tax and consistently ranks as one of the most fiscally responsible and lowest-taxed states in the nation.
