With the school year beginning soon, Texans can save money on clothes and school supplies during the state’s sales tax holiday, beginning Friday and ending Sunday.
According to Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar’s office, state law exempts sales tax on qualified items, including clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks — priced below $100, saving shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend. The date of the sales tax holiday and list of tax-exempt items are set by the Texas Legislature, Hegar’s office said.
“For many families with children who are going back to their school campuses for the first time since the pandemic began, the sales tax holiday is the perfect opportunity to save money on school supplies and other tax-free items,” Hegar said in a statement. “As a father with three school-aged children myself, I know how these expenses can add up.”
