Tax-free week? Never heard of it. Suggest to explain it to us.

If you mean they suspend sales tax, there are something like 9 states that have no sales tax. I've never heard of any of the other state's suspending their tax for any kind of time (but that doesn't mean they don't).

So, is buying a new RV considered a hurricane supply?

No hurricanes in Illinois; no tax suspension.

We have a tax-free weekEND in Texas and Oklahoma sometime in Aug. to help families get their kids ready to go back to school. No help in generators, however.

My wife just informed me that Illinois apparently has the same thing for back-to-school. Of course, she always bought that stuff, not me. Guess I learned something new today. (Still no hurricanes, though! )

Kudos Delaware! Yep hurricanes though. Hate going to those other states and forgetting about sales tax. Sometimes things will just have to wait until I get home.

It looks like NC did this years ago this article is dated May 18th 2018:


No taxes on clothes, shoes and school supplies.

A tax-free weekend once existed in North Carolina.

Gov. Pat McCrory signed a bill into law in 2013 that got rid of the annual event.

The tax-free weekend helped shoppers not pay sales tax when purchasing school-related items.

Now, Sen. Valerie Foushee (D-Chatham) is trying to bring it back.

Read Senate Bill 713

“I see it as a way to bring relief to struggling families in North Carolina,” she said.

In 2015, she sponsored this bill but it went nowhere with the General Assembly.

She says she felt helpless.

“There are members of the General Assembly that are insensitive to the needs of some families,” Foushee said.

A new bill, Senate Bill 713, was introduced to Thursday. Foushee thinks it would help low-income families.

Jeremy Gilreath remembers when his family took advantage of the weekend.

“It helped us save money so that we were better able to meet the needs of like me and my sister for our classrooms, that overtime require more and more from parents and teachers,” he said.

South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia still have a tax-free weekend.

“I have a personal connection to my constituents and I believe I try to do what is in their best interest,” said Foushee.

After a bill is introduced, the next step is for legislators to decide whether to hear it and assign it to the appropriate committee.
