Representative Debra Maggart announces upcoming
sales tax holiday
(July 23, 2009, NASHVILLE) – Representative Debra Maggart (R-Hendersonville) announced today that the annual sales tax holiday is approaching. The holiday will occur Friday, August 7 – Sunday, August 9, 2009.
“The people of this state deserve a break,” said Rep. Maggart. “I would encourage everyone to take advantage of this tax holiday. Citizens work hard and pay taxes all year, and this is a reward for that hard work.”
She went on, “We have all felt the economic strain over the past few months and this is a simple solution to help ease the financial burden we have been facing,” she said.
During this designated three-day weekend, consumers may purchase items such as clothing, school and art supplies, as well as computers under $1,500 without paying Tennessee’s state and local sales tax on the items. Additionally, items may qualify that are sold via mail, telephone, e-mail or internet if the order is paid for and processed during the exemption period.
“As a new school year approaches, this is a great time for families to stock up on school essentials for students. It is an excellent money-saving opportunity,” added Rep. Maggart.
