Save Money This Weekend on Back to School Shopping

Who isn't looking to save a little money these days? This weekend, you can save on clothes, school supplies and computers with the annual Missouri Sales Tax Holiday. It begins on Friday, August 1, and goes until midnight on Sunday, August 3.

What is exempted from sales tax?

Clothing - any article of clothing valued at $100 or less
School Supplies - as long as they cost less than $50 per purchase
Personal Computers - valued at $3500 or less
Computer Software - valued at $350 or less
Other Computer Devices - valued at $3500 or less

Before you head out on a shopping spree, remember not all cities and counties participate in the Sales Tax Holiday. If you shop in one of these areas, you will not pay state sales tax, but will still be charged local taxes. For a complete list of communities that are not participating, go to the Missouri Department of Revenue website.
