Three Sales Tax Holidays in Tennessee This Year
The Tennessee Department of Revenue is reminding taxpayers that the General Assembly approved two additional one-time sales tax holidays this year, in addition to the traditional sales tax holiday that takes place each year at the end of July. During these holiday periods, Tennesseans do not have to pay state or local sales tax on certain items.
The details of the three sales tax holidays are:
- Clothing, School Supplies and Computers (July 29-31): During this holiday weekend, clothing prices under $100, school supplies priced under $100 and computers priced under $1,500 are exempt from sales tax. Online purchases are included. Read more about the traditional sales tax holiday.
- Food and Food Ingredients (Aug. 1-31): During this month-long holiday, food and food ingredients may be purchased tax free. Food and food ingredients purchased from a micro market or vending machine remain subject to sales tax. Food ingredients do not include alcoholic beverages, tobacco, candy, dietary supplements and prepared food. For more information, read Important Notice #22-10.
- Gun Safes and Safety Equipment (July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023): The Legislature extended this holiday an additional fiscal year. During this period, retail sales of gun safes and certain gun safety devices are exempt from sales and use tax. For more information, read Important Notice #22-06.
