Sales Tax Holiday

A sales tax holiday is a designated time period during which certain purchases are exempt from state and local sales taxes. Usually set by states to help consumers save money, these holidays typically apply to specific items like clothing, school supplies, or emergency preparedness gear. Retailers collect and remit sales tax on applicable items outside the holiday, but during the period, shoppers pay only the sale price. It’s a temporary measure aimed at easing costs for families and encouraging shopping, often coordinated around back-to-school seasons or emergencies.
