The State of Georgia has returned the Sales Tax Holiday for August 10-11, 2012.

What Items Are Exempt From Sales Tax

•         Clothing and footwear with a sales price of $100.00 or less per item
•         A single purchase, with a sales price of $1,000.00 or less, of personal computers and personal computer- related accessories
•         General school supplies to be used in the classroom or in classroom-related activities with a sales price of $20.00 or less per item.

The exemption does not apply to:

Clothing accessories, jewelry, handbags, umbrellas, eyewear, watches, watchbands, cellular devices,furniture, computer-related  accessories designed for recreational use, items used in a trade or business or for resale, or rentals; or
Sales in theme parks, entertainment complexes, public lodging establishments, restaurants, or airports.

So, now would be a great time to get out and get some clothes for the kids, or yourself for that matter. (I’m seeing some new shoes!) as well as general school supplies. My office supplies are pretty stocked up, but I’ll be looking to see what I might save a few pennies on since I won’t have to pay the sales tax!

Happy Georgia Sales Tax Holiday!
