(updated June 18, 2020)
+ Florida first held a sales tax holiday for school supplies in 2007. This was not re-enacted in 2008-09. Massachusetts was not enacted from 2008 to 2014, 2016 and 2017. Beginning with 2018, the sales tax holiday is permanent.
* Details for some state programs are not available yet, website points to 2019 program.
Note, if your state is not listed, legislation has not been approved authorizing a sales tax holiday. Contact your state legislator for more information.
If you have any corrections, please direct your inquiry to Ronald Alt.
