State Rep. Patsy Hazlewood, R-Signal Mountain, State Rep. Esther Helton-Haynes, R-East Ridge, State Rep. Greg Martin, R-Hixson, and State Rep. Greg Vital, R-Harrison, are encouraging Hamilton County residents to take advantage of Tennessee’s upcoming sales tax holiday.
The state’s annual back-to-school tax-free weekend is set for Friday, July 26 through Sunday, July 28. Eligible purchases include clothing and shoes valued at $100 or less, school and art supplies costing less than $100, and computers and tablets priced at under $1,500.
“Our state’s fiscal responsibility has put us in a good position to be able to provide meaningful relief for Tennesseans,” the lawmakers said. “We know how hard Hamilton Countians work, and we encourage everyone to take advantage of the savings from this tax holiday.”
Republicans delivered $800 million in tax cuts during the 113th General Assembly, in addition to $1.5 billion for refunds for eligible business owners. Since 2012, Tennessee under a GOP majority has provided $4.3 billion in tax relief to citizens.
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.
