Sales tax holiday for clothing, footwear under $100 this week
The annual sales tax holiday that occurs across 16 states - including Iowa - for back-to-school shoppers is set for Friday and Saturday, Aug. 2 and 3.
The 'holiday” exempts customers from paying sales tax on certain articles of clothing or footwear priced at less than $100.
The exemption applies regardless of how many qualifying items are bought at a time and extends to mail order, catalog and online sales ordered and paid for on the holidays, even if the delivery comes later.
A full list of exempt and taxable items can be found at https://bit.ly/1IpBLlR.
