Alabama’s back-to-school sales tax holiday is coming up on July 17-19. During this time, shoppers can buy certain items free of the state sales tax, including clothing priced at $156 or less per item, computers and software priced at $1,173 or less, school supplies priced at $78 or less per item, and textbooks priced at $47 or less. Local sales taxes may still apply.
Supporting Local Businesses
NFIB State Director Rosemary Elebash says the tax holiday is a win for families and small businesses alike. It gives parents a chance to save on essential school purchases while helping local retailers during one of their busiest shopping seasons of the year. When families choose to shop at locally owned businesses, they’re doing more than preparing for the school year – they’re supporting local jobs, strengthening their communities, and helping Alabama’s small businesses succeed.
