Texas Sales Tax Holiday

Texas holds a sales tax holiday for back-to-school shopping every August, usually over a weekend. During the holiday you can buy qualifying clothing, shoes, school supplies, and backpacks without paying sales tax, as long as each item is under the state’s price limit. The dates, the price cap, and the list of what qualifies are set by the Texas Comptroller and can change from year to year, so check the Comptroller’s current sales tax holiday page before you shop. It’s a great opportunity to save money on back-to-school shopping!
