NOTE: There are about 15 different states offering some sort of tax free days at some point throughout the year and I’ll be posting those as they come up.

The following retail items are tax free within the state of Georgia July 28 through July 31. House Bill 5 provides for a sales tax exemption from both state and local sales taxes for four days, for the back-to-school shopping season.

During the sales tax holiday period, a sales tax exemption applies to items of tangible personal property in the following three categories:

Articles of Clothing. The exemption applies to articles of clothing and footwear with a sales price of $100 or less per item. Clothing accessories such as handbags, umbrellas, etc. are not exempt.

Personal Computers. A single $1,500 or less purchase of personal computers and related accessories is exempt. The exemption is granted to computers, Internet modems, printers, speakers, and non-recreational software. If the single purchase exceeds $1,500, the entire transaction is taxable.

General School Supplies. The exemption applies to the purchase of general school supplies with a sales price of $20 or less per item.

The exemptions are intended for individuals and their personal use. The exemption excludes items rented or leased and does not apply to purchases made by businesses or purchases made for resale. The exemption also does not apply to exempt items sold at theme parks, entertainment complexes, hotels, restaurants, and airports.

Just for fun, here are some facts and trivia about Georgia. Additionally, you can see a larger picture of the above image of Stone Mountain here.
