Rep. Iris Rudder encourages Tennesseans to take advantage of sales tax holiday
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – State Rep. Iris Rudder, R-Winchester, is encouraging residents to take advantage of Tennessee’s upcoming sales tax holiday.
The state’s annual back-to-school tax-free weekend begins on Friday, July 31 at 12:01 a.m. and ends Sunday, Aug. 2 at 11:59 p.m.
“A new school year brings fresh opportunities for students, teachers and families,” Rudder said. “Tennessee’s annual sales tax holiday helps make back-to-school shopping a little easier by allowing families to save on the essentials they need for the year ahead. I encourage everyone to take advantage of these savings.”
Qualified purchases include clothing and shoes priced at $100 or less, school and art supplies priced at $100 or less and computers or tablets priced at $1,500 or less.
Shoppers can purchase eligible items tax-free both online and in-person. Items purchased must be for personal use, not for business or trade.
Since 2012, Tennessee’s Republican supermajority has provided more than $5.2 billion in tax relief to citizens. The Volunteer State collects zero income tax and consistently ranks as one of the most fiscally responsible and lowest-taxed states in the nation.
