Finally, parents have a reason to smile during this economic woe. Starting today, qualifying purchases of certain school-related items are exempt from sales tax if you’re in one of the states that offers a sales tax holiday.
Georgia’s sales tax holiday, for example, runs from today through August 2, 2009. Shoppers will not have to pay sales tax on backpacks, book bags, calculators, blank CDs/DVDs, ink cartridges, and printer paper–as long as each item carries a sales price of $20 or less.
Want to know if your state is participating in a sales tax holiday? We’ve created a handy spreadsheet for you, which outlines all of the tech-related purchases that are eligible for tax exemption for each participating state.
See if your state made the cut, after the jump.
