tax free weekend

Spring Sales Tax Holiday (Friday, April 25): Tennessee's spring sales tax holiday began at 12:01 a.m. today, Friday, April 25 and will end at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, April 27. During this three-day weekend, consumers may purchase selected clothing, school supplies and computers without paying Tennessee's state and local sales tax on the items. The tax break applies to clothing priced at 100-dollars or less per item and computers priced 1,500-dollars or less.

This holiday also includes purchases of qualified items sold by mail, telephone, e-mail, or Internet, if the customer orders and pays for the item and the retailer accepts the order during the exemption period for immediate shipment, even if delivery is made after the exemption period.

Details about the state's special Sales Tax Holiday are available at the state's dedicated Web site, www.tntaxholiday.com. The Tennessee Department of Revenue also offers assistance to consumers by a dedicated e-mail address, and through its toll-free statewide telephone hot line,(800)342.1003. Staff is available to answer questions Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Central Time. (Out-of-state and Nashville-area callers, please dial (615) 253-0600.)
