Annual Tax Holiday and School Supply Lists

Texas shoppers get a break from state and local sales taxes this coming weekend- August 19-21, the state's annual tax holiday.

As in previous years, the law exempts most clothing and footwear priced under $100 from sales and use taxes which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend. In 2009, the legislature passed HB1801, so that Texas families also get a sales tax break on most school supplies. For more details including a list of supplies included, click here.
