It’s that time of year again when some states have Sales Tax Holidays on school supplies in time for Back to School! Once your kids are grown and out of school, you won’t know when school starts or ends or what is happening! And certainly this past year, I didn’t know if kids here in Houston were IN school or doing virtual school or half and half or what was going on. But at least we can ALL benefit a little bit, even with our stamping supplies, if they are listed on the chart above because they really can be classified as school supplies! And you know that is true if your kids have come to you with a school project and asked if they could use your markers or glue or something else!
Eleven states will be offering a sales tax holiday for school supplies during the months of July or August. Products that are eligible according to the statute include “items normally used by students in a standard classroom for educational purposes.” To see the names of participating states, products exempted from tax, and sales tax holiday dates, click here.
Please note that you must place your order with Stampin’ Up! during the tax holiday period in order to receive these items tax-free (which is midnight on the first day to midnight on the last day of the tax holiday). Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the state statute may not apply to county, city, and special jurisdiction taxes.
Note: Georgia, Louisiana, and Wisconsin have suspended the sales tax holiday for this year.
Look over the list of products that qualify and if you were going to order anyway, this will save you a few pennies, depending on your sales tax rate! Remember, the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog (Holiday Mini) and Sale-A-Bration both begin August 3, if that helps your planning!
Be sure to read at the top of the chart about the exemptions and details for your state and what the dates are.
