The state’s annual sales tax holiday for school supplies and clothes is set for August 6-8. State law exempts sales tax on qualified items such as clothing, footwear, school supplies, and backpacks.
Apparel and school supplies that may be purchased tax-free are listed on the Texas Comptroller’s website at <TexasTaxHoliday.org>.
During the annual sales tax holiday, qualifying items may be purchased tax-free in stores, online or by telephone, mail, custom order or any other means.
The Comptroller’s office estimates that shoppers will save an estimated $107.3 million in state and local sales tax during this sales tax holiday.
