Tennessee’s back-to-school sales tax holiday is scheduled for Friday, July 25 through Sunday, July 27, offering families a break on essential purchases as they prepare for the new school year. During the tax-free weekend, shoppers can buy qualifying items without paying state sales tax. Exemptions include clothing and footwear priced at $100 or less per item, school and art supplies under $100 each, and computers or tablets priced below $1,500. Common school necessities like backpacks, notebooks, pens, and shoes are all eligible. Both in-store and online purchases qualify, making it easier for families to take advantage of the savings. The sales tax holiday is part of the state’s ongoing commitment to provide financial relief to residents. Since 2011, Tennessee has delivered more than $5.1 billion in tax savings and continues to rank among the most fiscally responsible and lowest-taxed states in the nation.
