Texas Tax Free Shopping Information

Save on Back to School Shopping During Tax Free Shopping Days in Texas

By , About.com Guide

Texas shoppers get a break from state and local sales taxes on August 20-22, 2010 - the state's annual tax holiday.

Lay-away plans can be used again this year to take advantage of the sales tax holiday.

As in previous years, the law exempts most clothing and footwear priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend.

Backpacks under $100 and used by elementary and secondary students are also exempt.

School Supplies

In addition to clothes, footwear and some backpacks, Texas families also get a sales tax break on most school supplies priced at less than $100 purchased for use by a student in an elementary or secondary school.
