Crayons, coats, computers … cash: how to save with sales tax holiday
Parents can save money on clothes, school supplies and even computers this weekend during Georgia’s annual back-to-school sales tax holiday.
The tax break is limited to purchases up to $20 per school supply item, $100 per article of clothing and $1,000 per computer. It applies to both state and local sales tax, which can exceed a 20th of the cost of a purchase.
The Georgia Department of Revenue has a comprehensive list of applicable purchases and limits here for the tax holiday, which is July 30-31.
