This is City of Hillsboro Sales Tax Holiday August 21st-23rd page menu

Texas shoppers get a break from state and local sales taxes on August 21,22 and 23-the state’s annual tax holiday.  Lay-away plans can be used again this year to take advantage of the sales tax holiday.  As in previous years, the law exempts most clothing and footwear priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save shoppers  about $8 on every $100 they spend.  Backpacks under $100 and used by elementary and secondary students are also exempt.  A backpack is a pack with straps one wears on the back.  The exemption during the sales tax holiday includes backpacks with wheels, provided they can also be worn on the back like a traditional backpack, and messenger bags.   For more information, please read the entire article in our newsletter, Hello Hillsboro, or visit http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxpubs/tx98_490/tx98_490.html
