12 states to host tax-free sales ahead of the school year

The new school year is approaching, and the thought that it is time to stock up on fresh notebooks, pencils and folders for papers is both invigorating and frightening. Accessories, electronics, and clothing tend to be on a hefty list and can cut your bank account pretty much. To prevent this from happening, take the opportunity and buy everything during the tax-free sale, offers RetailMeNot.

During tax holidays, some states lower sales taxes on certain items, making school shopping more affordable. Discounts this year will apply to major retailers such as Walmart, Amazon and Target.

Безналоговые дни актуальны в 2020 году для 16 штатов (но учитывайте, что в некоторых они уже прошли), а также 5 штатах, которые никогда не взимают налог с продаж — это Аляска, Делавэр, Монтана, Нью-Гемпшир и Орегон.

In most cases, tax-free sales start at 12:01 pm and end at midnight. If you've missed days like these in your state, or your state isn't involved, it might be worth taking a trip to a neighboring state.
