Sales Tax Holidays in the Southeast

Sales Tax Holiday dates and tax free items vary from state to state and from year to year. Participating states usually offer back-to-school tax free savings in August and some offering additional Sales Tax Holidays in other months for energy-saving shopping or hurricane preparedness supplies.

A popular region for discount shopping trips throughout the year, the Southeastern United States is an especially good choice for great shopping during the Sales Tax Holidays. Since the rules concerning which items may be purchased tax free are different for each state, it is a good idea to compare the various Sales Tax Holidays before deciding which state is the best match for your shopping list. Things to consider when planning your Sales Tax Holiday destination include:

• Which items will be offered tax free?
  
• Will local taxes be charged?
  
• What is the maximum amount you can spend per item to obtain the exemption?
  
• Are all of the counties participating?
