Back To School: Tax - Free Weekend

This year’s school supply shopping is going to look a little different. In place of notebooks and pens, some students will be utilizing laptops and chrome books for virtual learning. School supply policies differ from each school district. Some districts, such as the Parkway School District in St. Louis, are purchasing school supplies in bulk for student use at a fraction of the cost. This prevents cross-contamination and provides a stress-free advantage for parents.

For those whose school district is not purchasing supplies, Tax-Free Weekend in Missouri will start on Friday, August 7 at 12:01 am and will end on Sunday, August 9 at 11:59 pm. Many stores have already started gearing up for school supply shopping by putting these items in the easiest to see shopping areas and will include online sales when items are purchased during the above-mentioned dates.

Back to school-related items that are included in the tax-free weekend are:

• personal computers at $1,500 or less
• computer software at $350 or less
• graphing calculators at $150 or less
• clothing and footwear at $100 or less
• school supplies at $50 or less

Be sure to take advantage of tax-free shopping for all your school supply needs!
