Texas Tax-Free Shopping Expands This Year

Texans again will have the opportunity to shop for clothing and other items without paying local and state sales taxes during the state's annual tax holiday on August 21, 22 and 23. However this will be the first time that school supplies also will be sales tax free. “I was proud to support additional measures this past session that expands the list of tax-exempt items to include school supplies,” Senator Nelson said. “Everyone should take advantage of this opportunity to save additional money.” For a full list of items that are exempt from sales taxes, visit the Texas Comptroller’s Tax Holiday page online.
