Alabama’s Tax-Free Weekend Brings Big Savings on School Supplies and Clothes
This weekend, Alabama shoppers can save money on school supplies and clothes. From July 19 to July 21, many items will be tax-free. This is a big deal because Alabama has one of the highest sales taxes in the country.
Clothes that are tax-free include shirts, pants, shoes, hats, and more, as long as each item costs less than $100. But some things are not included like special sports gear and jewelry. Electronics and school supplies like computers, printer paper, and flash drives are also tax-free, but only if they cost less than $750 and aren’t just for fun.

Make the Most of Alabama’s Sales Tax Holiday
Some online stores like Amazon will honor Alabama’s sales tax holiday, but you might still have to pay local taxes in some areas. Not all counties are participating in the holiday ND so you should check the official website to see which ones are included. Online stores might still charge tax on items that don’t qualify for the holiday. By knowing what’s included and what’s not smart shoppers can make the most of this weekend’s sales, according to the report of Kiplinger.
