Sales Tax Holiday For Back to School
I can remember getting ready to go back to school and how exciting it was to stock up on a new wardrobe. Unfortunately, in those days, we weren’t treated to sales tax holidays, so we really missed out. But you can take full advantage of the offerings. I was amazed to see just how many items were on the list!
“G.S. 105-164.13C provides an exemption for certain items of tangible personal property sold between 12:01 A.M. on the first Friday in August and 11:59 P.M. the following Sunday. For 2007, the dates are Friday, August 3rd through Sunday, August 5th. Clothing, footwear, and school supplies of $100 or less per item; sports and recreation equipment of $50 or less per item, computers of $3,500 or less per item; and computer supplies of $250 or less per item will be exempt.
Clothing accessories, jewelry, cosmetics, protective equipment, wallets, furniture, items used in a trade or business, and rentals are not covered by the exemption and will be subject to the applicable tax.”
This applies to North Carolina but I would check your state to see what kind of savings you can expect. I know that Florida is offering the same sort of tax holiday, so chances are that lots of other southern states are doing the same.
