Shop Tax Free in Tennessee - Special Sales Tax Holiday is April 25-27

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Department of Revenue reminds Tennesseans that the special, one-time Sales Tax Holiday begins Friday, April 25 at 12:01 a.m. and ends Sunday, April 27 at 11:59 p.m.

“Each of the 2007 sales tax holidays provided almost $10 million in tax savings to Tennessee families,” said Revenue Commissioner Reagan Farr. “I hope that everyone will take advantage of this year’s special three day weekend of tax savings.”

This holiday provides statewide tax-free purchases for school supplies, art supplies and clothing priced $100 or less per item and computers priced $1,500 or less. This holiday also includes purchases of qualified items sold via mail, telephone, e-mail or Internet if the customer orders and pays for the item and the retailer accepts the order during the holiday for immediate shipment, even if delivery is made after the exemption period.

An audio news release recorded by Commissioner Farr about the holiday is available at the Sales Tax Holiday Web site, www.tntaxholiday.com
