Texas Sales Tax Holiday 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

August 17 – 19, 2012<\/p>\n

In 2012, Texas shoppers get a break from state and local sales taxes on
\nAug. 17, 18 and 19 \u2013 the state’s annual tax holiday. As in previous
\nyears, the law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and
\nbackpacks priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save
\nshoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend.<\/p>\n

Subject to the criteria explained below, all sales of qualifying items
\nmade during the holiday period qualify for the exemption, including
\nitems sold over the Internet, television or by mail. Lay-away plans can
\nbe used again this year to take advantage of the sales tax holiday.<\/p>\n
