MONTGOMERY – Alabama’s 10th Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday will begin at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 7, and end at midnight on Sunday, Aug. 9.
“This is a perfect opportunity for parents to purchase needed school supplies and get a tax break at the same time,” said State Revenue Commissioner Julie Magee. “This is a win-win situation for parents, shoppers and retailers, because consumers will be buying non-exempt items as well.”
Participation is required for all retailers, with local governments having the choice to participate or opt out of the holiday. “Taxpayers, especially parents, will reap extra benefits if their city and county choose to participate, as they could be exempt from paying state, municipal and county taxes on their purchases,” explained Magee.
The holiday covers clothes priced at less than $100, computers and educational software worth less than $750, school supplies, books and more.
Cullman is participating in the sales tax holiday.
