Virginia's Annual Sales Tax Holiday Begins Aug. 6

Virginia will hold its annual school supplies and clothing tax holiday from Aug. 6 through Aug. 8.

During this three-day period, purchases of qualifying school supplies selling for $20 or less per item, and purchases of qualifying clothing and footwear selling for $100 or less per item will be exempt from sales tax.


Retailers may also choose to absorb the tax on other items during the holiday period, but they are responsible for paying the tax on those items to the Department of Taxation, according to Virginia's web site.
