US EditionSales Tax Holidays: Tax-Free Back-to-School Shopping Events Kick Off This Weekend
ALABAMA, JUL 18 – Alabama waives state and some local sales taxes on select back-to-school items such as clothing and computers for three days, with partial tax relief in some counties.
- Multiple U.S. states are holding sales tax holidays in July and August 2025 to offer tax-free shopping on back-to-school items like clothing, school supplies, and electronics.
- These events occur annually in many states, with some starting as early as July 18 in Alabama, while others like Connecticut and New Mexico are scheduled later this month or in August.
- Tax-Free items and spending limits vary, including clothing and footwear valued mostly at $100 or less, school supplies up to $50, computers up to $750 or $1,500, and other educational materials.
- For example, Texas’ event runs August 8-10 where families save about $8 per $100 spent on tax-free clothing and computers under $750, while Florida offers a monthlong holiday in August.
- These tax holidays provide families an opportunity to save money on back-to-school essentials, but rules differ by state, making consumer research important to maximize benefits.
