DALLAS – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is helping military shoppers double their sales-tax savings as students hit the books for the 2021-22 school year.
It matters where you shop, and because shopping at the Exchange is always tax-free, Soldiers, Airmen, Guardians and their families can save even more on back-to-school items during select states’ tax-free weekends.
During the tax holidays, the Exchange will match local sales-tax discounts to offer an additional percentage off (equivalent to the local sales tax rate).
This year, 17 states are hosting tax-free sales on select back-to-school items, such as clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks. In some states, computers and other qualifying electronic devices can be purchased tax-free. Eligible items vary by state.
“Every day is a sales tax holiday at the Exchange, and 100% of Exchange earnings goes back to the military community,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Osby, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor. “Back-to-school season is an exciting time, and these extra tax savings provide a budget-friendly way to return to class.”
Sales-tax holidays kick off July 16-18 in Alabama and end Aug. 15-21 in Connecticut. Shoppers can check their state’s tax website for dates and eligible items. Exchange discounts are valid in stores only.
Facebook-friendly version: Every day is tax-free for shoppers at the Army & Air Force Exchange Service, but during back-to-school tax holidays in 17 states, Exchange stores will offer additional savings equal to the local tax rate on eligible items. Read more: https://ift.tt/3i0femB.
