Tax-Free Holiday

4/22/08
UPDATE: The dates for the Sales Tax Holiday have been decided - August 2-8
It's three days shorter and a few items are excluded from exemption this year.
Included: Clothing, wallets, backpacks, handbags, fanny packs, diaper bags; school supplies (pens, pencils, erasers, crayons, notebooks, legal pads, binders, lunch boxes, folders, computer disks, calculators).
Excluded: Books, briefcases, suitcases, watches, jewelry, and umbrellas.


While we'll still get a Tax-Free Holiday, it won't be as long, or include as many items this year.
State Legislators trimmed the Holiday from 10 days to 7, and books are off the list. Also wiped out, the Hurricane supply tax holiday.
No date has been decided for the Tax-Free Holiday, but you can expect it to be sometime in early August.
