Sales Tax Holiday FAQ's:
Can multiple qualifying items be purchased in a single tax-exemption transaction?
- The qualification for the tax exemption is determined by item, and there is no limit on the number of total purchases. For example, if you buy several items of clothing at $50 each totaling $300, all would be tax exempt.
How are coupons and discounts handled?
- If a retailer offers a discount to reduce the price of an item to fall within the tax-exempt price limits, the item will qualify for the exemption.
