TENNESSEE’S ‘TAX FREE HOLIDAY’ IS IN FULL FORCE NOW, WHAT CAN YOU BUY?

Shoppers can enjoy a sales tax holiday in Tennessee one weekend earlier than in years past. The sales tax holiday is happening the  last weekend in July instead of the first weekend in August. It’s going on now through Sunday, July 31st.

This is because of a 2016 law change. The change only affected when this sales tax holiday would happen. It starts at 12:01 a.m. on the last Friday in July and ends 11:59 p.m. that following Sunday.

Shoppers will not pay state or local sales tax on clothing, school and art supplies that cost $100 or less per item and computers that cost $1,500 or less during this sales tax holiday. Tennessee had its first sales tax holiday in 2007.
