2010 Annual Sales Tax Holiday
Alabama’s Annual Sales Tax Holiday
August 6-8, 2010
Beginning at 12:01 a.m. (CST) on Friday August 6, 2010, and ending at twelve midnight on Sunday August 8, 2010, Alabama will hold its fifth annual sales tax holiday giving shoppers the opportunity to purchase certain school supplies, computers, and clothing free of state sales or use tax. Local sales and use tax may apply – see list of participating cities and counties.
Retailers are required to participate and may not charge tax on items that are legally tax-exempt during the Sales Tax Holiday.
Please note: 2010 Georgia Sales Tax Holiday
The Georgia General Assembly did not renew legislation allowing for any sales tax holidays during 2010. As a result, the previously held sales tax holidays for school supplies, energy efficient products, and water efficient products will not take place in 2010.
