TX. Sales tax holiday for emergency supplies

[tuckerdog1]

For Texas members, April 24-26 there is a holiday from sales tax on certain emergency supplies. I'll attach the link with details below. I'm putting this here, because one of the items listed is generators up to $3000. That could add up to a pretty good chunk of cash if you're considering some of the more costly brands like Honda. It does say on line sales are included, but I don't know how you'd work that out with the seller if they are out of state and unaware of this break. A little caution if you choose something close to the $3K ( or whatever price max, depending on category ). SHIPPING cost is considered part of the sales price. So if you buy a $2999 generator and shipping is $50, it's over the $3K and NONE of it is exempt from tax.

Myself, gonna pick up a few new fire extinguishers for the house & the RV.

If the seller does not recognize the holiday and charges tax, you can try to get them to refund or fill out the tax form which the comptroller provides to get it
