Sales Tax School Holiday

Democrats asking all to join in Family Friendly Sales Tax Exemption for
"Back to School Shopping".

Democrats of Oro Valley Club have proposed seeking legislation in the next session of the Arizona Legislature to have a "sales tax free holiday for back to school shopping."

A number of states have given families a break on back to school shopping by taking a Sales Tax Holiday prior to the start of school every year.  While it is a Democrat Club proposal they will be asking Republican Legislators and other public service groups to join in their proposal.

The Oro Valley Democratic group plans on asking the Pima County Democrat Precinct Committee and other Democrat and public groups to endorse the proposal.  

They will request legislation be drafted for introduction in the next Legislature.

Aug. 7 - 9, 2015

This year’s Sales Tax Holiday is Aug. 7 - 9. As in previous years, the law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend.

The state of Florida has a “sales-tax holiday” during the back-to-school season.

Illinois: In 2010, the state held sales tax holidays for footwear and clothing with a sales price of less than $100 per item and for school supplies. However, the state has not enacted any sales tax holidays for 2011.
