Tennessee is set to host its annual back-to-school sales tax holiday from Friday, July 25, through Sunday, July 27. This initiative offers families an excellent opportunity to save on essential items needed for the upcoming school year. During this tax-exempt weekend, shoppers can purchase a variety of items without incurring state sales tax.
Eligible purchases include clothing and footwear priced at $100 or less, as well as school and art supplies that fall under the same price cap. Additionally, computers and tablets that cost less than $1,500 are also exempt from sales tax. This means that everyday necessities such as backpacks, notebooks, pens, and shoes can be acquired without the added financial burden of sales tax. Both in-store and online transactions are included in this tax-free event, making it convenient for all shoppers.
This sales tax holiday is part of Tennessee’s ongoing commitment to alleviate financial pressures on its residents. Since the inception of this initiative in 2011, the state has successfully delivered over $5.1 billion in tax savings, reinforcing its status as one of the most fiscally conservative and low-tax states in the nation.
