If you didn’t already know, now you do: Tennessee’s traditional sales tax holiday begins Friday, July 26 and runs through Sunday, July 28.
During this time, clothing, school supplies, and computers may be purchased tax-free — but there are some exceptions you need to know before loading up the cart.
Shop (exempt items)
- General apparel that costs $100 or less per item
- School and art supplies priced at $100 or less per item
- Computers (including laptops and tablets) priced at $1,500 or less
Drop (non-exempt items)
- Apparel items more than $100
- Items such as jewelry, handbags, or sports equipment
- Storage media, like flash drives and compact discs, as well as printer supplies and household appliances
See the full list of exempt items + non-exempt items.
How about online shopping? As long as items are on the list of exemptions, anything ordered by “mail, telephone, email, or the Internet” qualifies.
