What is a state sales tax holiday?
Some states offer a period of time ranging from two-three days to an entire week during which certain purchases you make are not subject to state sales taxes.
Each state program varies. Some states limit the type of purchase to a particular product (i.e., school supplies, clothing, energy savings products, etc), or to a specific amount (i.e., purchases up to $2,100).
Although you may not have to pay state sales tax during sales tax holidays, you may still have to pay taxes levied by local counties or jurisdictions.
