Washington County lawmakers encourage residents to take advantage of tax-free weekend

State Rep. Tim Hicks, R-Gray, and State Rep. Rebecca Alexander, R-Jonesborough, are 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 priced at under $1,500.

“Our state’s strong economic management allows us the excellent opportunity of providing relief for hard-working Tennesseans,” the lawmakers said. “This tax-free weekend is especially important because it empowers parents to ensure their kids have what they need before school begins. We encourage all Washington Countians to take advantage of the savings.”

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.
