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

August 8 – 10, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Sales Tax Holiday is August 8 – 10, 2014 .<\/span> As in previous years, the law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend.<\/p>\n

Subject to the criteria explained below, all sales of qualifying items made during the holiday period qualify for the<\/span><\/span> exemption, including items sold online, or by telephone or mail. Lay-away plans can be used again this year to take advantage of the sales tax holiday.<\/p>\n
