The recent passage of Senate Bill 485 (83rd Regular Legislative Session, 2013) changes the dates of this year’s annual Sales Tax Holiday to August 9-11, a week earlier than previously scheduled. As in previous years, the law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies, and backpacks priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend.
This is especially important for PTAs that take advantage of this weekend to sell school supplies, spirit wear, and other items within the exempt parameters. This way a PTA does not have to declare one of their two (2) tax-free days. If your PTA is using this weekend be sure to coordinate with your vendors to make sure they are aware of the change.
