Texas Sales Tax Holiday
Posted by Laurence Simon at 05:01 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (15)

As a public service announcement to all IMAO readers, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that this weekend is the Texas Sales Tax Holiday:

Texas shoppers get a break from state and local sales taxes on August 5, 6, and 7--the state's seventh annual tax holiday. Lay-away plans can be used again this year to take advantage of the sales tax holiday.

The law exempts most clothing and footwear priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend.

Included in the list of tax-free items are: Pajamas, Robes, Underclothes, and Shorts.

According to various angry denizens of the MSM who have found themselves on the wrong side of the Blogosphere's ire, I guess that's pretty much everything a blogger needs. So come on down to Texas this weekend and load up on your blogwear sales tax-free!

One word of warning: just don't murder anyone while you're here. We got plenty of needles to go around, and the Governor turns his phone off after ten.

Rating: 2.3/5 (2 votes cast)

That's neat, I didn't know about this....I wish I lived in Texas.

They're gearing us (Texans) up for our secession. No sales tax for three days...just giving us a taste of the sweet life to come.

#3 - Posted by: Coleman on August 2, 2005 05:45 PM

Yeah! Ours here in GA was last weekend.

Coleman:
You secede, and I'm THERE.

I live near the PA/DE border. I can easily go to Delaware and avoid the PA 6% sales tax any day that I chhose.

#7 - Posted by: Fitch on August 2, 2005 09:11 PM

Florida has done this for a lot longer I think, and theirs is a full week.

#8 - Posted by: Steve on August 2, 2005 10:46 PM

I feel sorry for the retail workers there.

For what it matters, the Missouri sales tax holiday starts Friday, as well.

Medic,
I too wished I lived in Texas. So I went and found me a job in Austin. I move in a month.

(I'm from NJ, so I need to go to Austin where all the hippies are so I don't get homesick)

#12 - Posted by: Undercover Hippie on August 3, 2005 02:54 PM

I really heart Texas this upcoming weekend.

It's like the day after Thanksgiving in August!!!

The New Hampshire tax-holiday runs until hell freezes over.
I like theirs.

#14 - Posted by: Veeshir on August 4, 2005 07:11 AM

New Mexico is copying the event on Aug5,6,7. But don't fear, Guv Richardson raised the taxes and fees on nearly everything else under the guise of lowering a piece of the food tax. That way he can be sure we will pay for his new jet aeroplane.
