-- Tax Free Holiday Weekend (http://forums.ukcdogs.com/showthread.php?threadid=292677)

Tax Free Holiday Weekend

This weekend was a TAX FREE weekend here in Alabama -- no tax on clothing, shoes, school supplies, books, computers, and computer software up to a certain amount.

Example, computers up to $750 was tax free.

Started this Friday at 12:00am and ends tonight at midnight.

I was wondering what other states offer such a weekend?

North Carolina is doing the same thing this weekend.

Louisiana & Texas

I believe Texas started it several years ago & then Louisiana thought it was a good idea. The stores seem to do a good amount of business on tax free weekends.

coonsmen, this is Alabama's 4th year offering it.........Our state is like the others in $$ crisis with proration in school budgets and across the board...Our Governor was here in town last week promoting it.

“Alabama’s Sales Tax Holiday provides a unique opportunity for families to save money, stores to boost sales and our state’s economy to get the shot-in-the-arm that it needs,” said Governor Riley. “It really is a ‘win’ economically for everyone and it comes at a critical time.”

The 1st year they started it, school had already started...Every year since was before school started, which schools here started back today.

Leon, Florida didn't offer a tax free weekend this year.

tennessee did it twice in one year a few years back

Missouri does it every year for one weekend in August. There are some counties and cities that do nat participate though so you kinda have to watch out for that one.
