Back to School: 2012 Sales Tax Holiday Weekend Dates by State


Back to school means Sales Tax Holidays for many states around the country. States including Missouri, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, North Carolina, Texas, and Tennessee have created a sales tax holiday weekend for parents and students who can save on the cost of back-to-school clothing and supplies.

Most states have certain requirements for purchases that fall under sales tax exempt. For example, in my state of Missouri, purchases that are sales tax exempt for the sales tax holiday weekend are clothing items (including shoes, underwear, etc.), school supplies, and computers. You cannot purchase a car during this weekend and expect it to be sales tax free.

I usually purchase the bulk of my items during the sales tax holiday weekend in order to save as much money as I can. Last year, I saved about $100 by buying during the tax free weekend. The year before, I saved almost $300.

Even if you don’t have a child going back to school, you can still participate in the sales tax free weekend as long as you are purchasing items under your state’s guidelines.

Below is a comprehensive list of 2012 Sales Tax Holiday Weekend Dates by State. You may want to check your state’s website to see the specifics of what is and what isn’t covered.
