Do you wait to do your major back to school shopping for Tax free weekend? Many people do! I may grab a few clothing items, but I felt the stress this year to get it all done actually having a Kindergartener this year. Here are a few details you need to know if you plan to take advantage of the Tax free deals going on.
Back-to-School Tax Free Shopping Weekend for our area:
North Carolina (info on items exempt and non-exempt)
South Carolina (info on items exempt and non-exempt)
A few tips:
- Know what is included
- Know the $$ Limits
- Plan ahead knowing what you need
- Make a list of what you need and what stores you need to go to.
- Know various conditions and restrictions. Example: is paying off layaway now eliminate tax or does putting layaway in now eliminate the tax regardless of when you take it out.
- Have you checked nearby states or other states you have family or may be traveling to before school starts.
- Check the Sales Flyers
- Read up on the stores’ coupon rules. You may be able to stack them up for even more savings.
