REP. ANGELA R. BRYANT REMINDS RESIDENTS OF SALES TAX HOLIDAY WEEKEND
RALEIGH – Rep. Angela R. Bryant today reminded her constituents to take advantage of the state’s sales
tax holiday, which starts at 12:01 am on Friday, August 6 and ends at 11:59 pm on Sunday, August 8. In
an effort to better help consumers afford back-to-school items for their children, shoppers this weekend will
not have to pay the sales tax on clothing, school supplies and computers.
“This weekend’s sales tax holiday will help North Carolina families better prepare their children for the start
of school so they’re able to enter the classroom ready to learn,” Rep. Bryant said. “Friday through Sunday
will be a great opportunity for families to save some money on necessary back-to-school items, while also
supporting our local businesses. I hope that all residents of Halifax and Nash counties will take advantage
of this opportunity.”
The sales tax holiday was created by the North Carolina General Assembly in 2001 and went into effect on
January 1, 2002. During the sales tax holiday, consumers will not pay sales tax on clothing, footwear, and school supplies of $100 or less per item; school instructional materials of $300 or less per item; sports and recreation equipment of $50 or less per item, computers of $3,500 or less per item; and computer supplies of $250 or less per item.
