SALES TAX HOLIDAY
COMING SOON
Shoppers
will soon get a price break thanks to Tennessee's annual
sales tax holiday. The three-day weekend will take
place August 7-9. During this time consumers can save
almost 10 percent on tax-free clothing, school and art
supplies, and computer purchases.
The holiday
begins at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, August 7 and ends on Sunday,
August 9 at 11:59 p.m. Shoppers may purchase selected clothing with a
price of $100 or less per item, school supplies with a price
of $100 or less per item and computers with a price of
$1,500 or less without paying Tennessee's state and local
sales tax.
"During
tough economic times, this tax-saving initiative provides
savings for Tennessee shoppers and a much needed boost for
Tennessee retailers,” said Revenue Commissioner Reagan Farr.
“We are hopeful that all Tennessee shoppers will enjoy the
immediate relief of the 2009 Sales Tax Holiday.”
The holiday
also includes purchases of qualified items sold via mail,
telephone, e-mail or internet if the customer orders and
pays for the item and the retailer accepts the order during
the holiday for immediate shipment, even if delivery is made
after the exemption period.
