NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Tennessee's back-to-school sales tax holiday is back.
This year, shoppers can save on school supplies, clothing, and computers from 12:01am July 31 to 11:59pm Aug. 2.
During that weekend, clothing and school supplies priced at $100 or less and computers priced at $1,500 or less may be purchased without paying local or state sales tax.
"I encourage every family to take advantage of back-to-school savings, and thank the General Assembly for their partnership to provide direct financial relief for tax payers," said Gov. Bill Lee.
Shoppers are encouraged to check out the list of qualifying items before they shop to confirm what will and will not be taxed.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
