Tax-Free Shopping 2007
Several states have Tax-Free Shopping days every summer. During these few days each year, consumers can purchase clothing, school supplies, books and computers before the new school year and pay no taxes on qualifying purchases. Not paying taxes can save you up to 10 percent on the final bill, depending on the exactly percentage of your state’s sales tax. If you live in or near the following states, take a look at the tax-free shopping schedule and plan your summer shopping around these dates:
