NASHVILLE, Tenn. – State Rep. Scott Cepicky, R-Culleoka, is encouraging residents of District 64 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.
“Years of conservative budgeting have placed the Volunteer State in a strong position to empower residents by ensuring they keep more of their hard-earned money,” said Cepicky. “This important sales tax holiday will help ease the financial burden on Tennesseans as students head back to school in August. I encourage Maury County families to take advantage of these savings by purchasing supplies, clothing and other eligible products during this period.”
Eligible items, including shirts, shoes, pens, backpacks and binders, among others, can be purchased tax-free 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.
