With the first days of a new school year right around the corner, Texans can capitalize on the state’s annual three-day sales tax holiday on certain purchases this weekend.
All purchases of $100 or less on qualifying products can be made without the addition of charged sales tax. Qualifying items are charged individually, meaning you can purchase two $70 backpacks and not pay sales tax for either, even though the total price of goods amounts to more than $100.
The Texas Comptroller encourages all taxpayers to support Texas businesses while saving money on tax-free purchases of most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks (sold for less than $100) during the annual Tax-Free weekend.
Qualifying items can be purchased tax free from a Texas store or from an online or catalog seller doing business in Texas. In most cases, you do not need to give the seller an exemption certificate to buy qualifying items tax free.
