That means you can purchase many of the back-to-school essentials without paying NC Sales tax! It’s a savings of 7.75% (in most North Carolina counties) and begins Friday, August 6th through Sunday, August 8th.
Thinking of all the supplies you’ll purchase?… pens, paper, binders, book bags, crayons, markers, and more…but wait, it’s also applicable on items such as clothing, shoes, sports equipment, computers and computer supplies! There are some restrictions to this Tax Free Weekend, but imagine how much you can save! For a family with 3 kids in school, one of which needs a new laptop, you can estimate around $3,550 will be spent. The tax savings would be $275! I think that is worth fighting the crowds over.
