Texas Sales Tax Holiday Exempts School Supplies and Clothing August 11 – 13

SAN ANGELO, TX – Texas shoppers can load up on school supplies, clothing and shoes this weekend tax free as the annual Sales Tax Holiday exempts those items from the state sales tax in Texas. 

According to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, this year’s Sales Tax Holiday is Friday August 11 through Sunday August 13.  As in previous years, the law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced less than $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend. 

The Sales Tax Holiday allows all sales of qualifying items made during the holiday period qualify for the exemption, including items sold online, or by telephone or by mail.  In addition, shoppers can use layaway plans to take advantage of the sales tax holiday.
