State Rep. Kip Capley, R-Summertown, is encouraging local residents to take advantage of Tennessee’s upcoming sales tax holiday.
The state’s annual back-to-school tax-free weekend is set for Friday, July 26 through Sunday, July 28. Eligible purchases include clothing and shoes valued at $100 or less, school and art supplies costing less than $100, and computers and tablets priced at under $1,500.
“The federal government has failed Americans economically, but our state’s strong fiscal conservatism has put us in a position to provide much-deserved relief to Tennesseans,” Capley said. “I encourage all residents of District 71 to go out during this tax holiday to take advantage of the savings and prepare for the upcoming school year.”
Republicans delivered $800 million in tax cuts during the 113th General Assembly, in addition to $1.5 billion for refunds for eligible business owners. Since 2012, Tennessee under a GOP majority has provided $4.3 billion in tax relief to citizens.
The Volunteer State collects no personal income tax and consistently ranks as one of the most fiscally responsible and lowest-taxed states in the nation.
