Posted

Ms. Cheap gave tips on shopping for the holidays during the Tax-Free Weekend. Tennessee's annual sales tax holiday weekend begins at 12:01am on Friday, July 26, and ends at 11:59pm on Sunday, July 28. During the holiday weekend, computers, laptops and tablets with a purchase price of $1,500 or less, clothing and school supplies with a purchase price of $100 or less per item, are exempt from state sales tax. You can find an alphabetical list of taxable items at www.tntaxholiday.com.
