What do you think of a tax-free holiday?

Question

What do you think of a (sales) tax-free holiday (weekend) in your state? Is there one or would you like one?

There is one in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, that I know of.

Answer 1

Great idea. It helps a lot.

Answer 2

It is nice, but not completely necessary. The items which are not taxed are restricted to items of apparel under $100 here in Texas. So unless you are planning to purchase tons of clothing during this weekend anyhow, it does not amount to significant savings. It's basically a sale of 8.125%, and who really gets excited over an 8% discount?

Answer 3

Some states have a tax free weekend. They may have tax free holidays too. I know Michigan doesn't. They want their money!

Answer 4

We have a tax free week in CT every year that falls the week before most towns are going back to school in August. Applies on all purchases less then $300 I think.

Answer 5

I'd rather not, thanks.

The way my politicians' minds work, they'd change the sales tax rate from 8.25% to 8.75% to compensate for the one lost weekend.

I live in California.

Answer 6

Yes, I am dreaming about that also :))
That would be so awesome!!

and I think Delaware is (sales) tax free everyday!!

Answer 7

I live in Oregon, and EVERY weekend is a (sales) tax-free weekend! (weekday's too!) (but you can't pump your own gas.(seriously(unless you have a classic car... then you can.)))

Answer 8

Dream on!

Answer 9

TAX FREE!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
