State Rep. Paul Sherrell, R-Sparta, is encouraging local 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 costing $1,500 or less.
“While hardworking American families are being crushed by the federal government’s inflation-growing economic policies, our state’s strong fiscal governance has allowed us to provide relief for Tennesseans,” Sherrell said. “I encourage everyone in Warren and White counties to take advantage of this great opportunity to prepare their children for the upcoming school year.”
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.
