Tax holiday this weekend

Georgia’s sales tax holiday takes place today and Sunday. As always, the days offer shoppers the chance to purchase certain items tax free.

This includes clothing and footwear with a sales price of $100 or less per item as well as computers, computer components, and pre-written software purchased for noncommercial home or personal use with a sales price of $1,000 or less per item.

The exemption excludes clothing accessories such as jewelry, handbags, umbrellas, eyewear, watches and watchbands. Electronic accessories such as prerecorded CDs/DVDS, cell phones, game systems and televisions are also taxable.

Check under “press releases” on www.dor.georgia.gov for a complete list of tax-exempt items.
