This weekend is the time to buy school supplies even if you haven’t gone to school for decades. The tenth annual school supplies sales tax holiday starts Friday and goes through Sunday. The state sales tax will not be charged on specific purchases. Although the state sales tax won’t be charged, more than 200 cities and counties will continue to collect their local sales taxes.
But Revenue department spokesman Michelle Gleba says some school supplies are not included—no refrigerator for the college dorm room, for example. “But if you wait until Spring and take advantage of our Green Sales Tax holiday, that might be a good time to do that,” she says.
A comprehensive list of what is eligible for the sales tax exemption is on the revenue department’s web page. And here’s a list of the places where local sales taxes will still be collected, although the state sales tax won’t be.
