NASHVILLE, TN (SPECIAL TO WLAF)- State Representative Dennis Powers, R-Jacksboro, encourages residents to take advantage of Tennessee’s sales tax holiday.

The state’s annual back-to-school tax-free weekend begins on Friday, July 26 and ends Sunday, July 28.

“As food and gas prices continue to rise, I’m thankful we are able to give Tennesseans some relief as children prepare for the new school year,” Powers said. “I hope everyone is able to take advantage of this sales tax holiday, not just those going back to school, to get their families the necessities they need.”

During this time, certain clothing, school supplies and computers may be purchased tax-free. The sales tax holiday also applies to items sold online. Items purchased must be for personal use, not for business or trade.

Tax-exempt items include:
✓ General apparel valued at $100 or less per item, such as shirts, pants, socks, shoes, dresses, etc.
✓ School and art supplies with a purchase price of $100 or less per item, such as binders, crayons, backpacks, paper, pencils, etc.
✓ Computers for personal use priced at $1,500 or less. Laptop computers ($1,500 or less) and tablet computers also qualify.

For more information, including full lists of exempt and not exempt items, visit the Tennessee Department of Revenue website.
