This year, the sales tax holiday is scheduled for Aug. 5-7.
Shoppers can save money on certain items priced for less than $100 during the state’s annual sales tax holiday.
The law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced below $100 from sales tax, saving shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend during the weekend.
Lists of apparel and school supplies that may be purchased tax-free can be found on the the Texas Comptroller’s website at TexasTaxHoliday.org.
This year, shoppers will save an estimated $92 million in state and local sales taxes during the sales tax holiday.
