Special Sales Tax Holiday set for April 25-27
The Tennessee Department of Revenue announced the spring Sales Tax Holiday dates
as Friday, April 25, through Sunday, April 27, 2008. This one-time holiday will
offer three full days of tax savings to shoppers on clothing, school and art
supplies, and computers.
During the holiday, shoppers may purchase selected clothing with a price of $100
or less per item, school and school art supplies with a price of $100 or less
per item and computers with a price of $1,500 or less without paying Tennessee’s
state and local sales tax on the items. The holiday also includes purchases of
qualified items sold via mail, telephone, e-mail or Internet if the customer
orders and pays for the item and the retailer accepts the order during the
holiday for immediate shipment, even if delivery is made after the exemption
period.
“All Tennesseans can benefit from the state’s sales tax holidays,” said Revenue
Commissioner Reagan Farr. “The April holiday offers tax-free purchases on
clothing for summer, computers and supplies for summer programs or early
back-to-school preparations.”

dedicated Web site,

The Tennessee Department of Revenue also offers assistance to consumers via
