Tennessee Tax Free HolidaysThis year, Tennessee will have two tax free holidays and one will last three entire months! The holidays range from clothing and school supplies to groceries. Knoxville Moms is here to help you take advantage of them all. First, mark these dates on your calendar:

July 28, 2023 – July 30, 2023: Clothing, School Supplies & Computers

August 1, 2023 – October 31, 2023: Food & Food Ingredients

What purchases qualify as tax free in each of these categories? Knoxville Moms has the answers!

The popular clothing, school supplies, and computers sales tax holiday applies to any clothing item that is less than $100. School supplies like binders, backpacks, crayons, paper, pen, pencils, rulers and art supplies are also eligible. Once again, each of those individual items must cost less than $100 per item. Computers, laptops and tablets for personal use are also included in the sales tax holiday as long as they have a purchase price of $1,500 or less. There are some unexpected clothing items that will be tax free including wedding gowns, bowling shirts and more. For a complete list of exempt items, click here. Online purchases for this sales tax holiday will also be tax free although there may be some restrictions.

The grocery sales tax holiday is back this year and it’s even better! Instead of one month, this sales tax holiday will last three months. That’s welcome news with the rising cost of food. A good rule of thumb for this sales tax holiday is if you can find it in a grocery store, it’s included. However, alcoholic beverages, tobacco, candy, dietary supplements and prepared food will not be tax free. Keep in mind that food purchased at a “micro market or vending machine” is subject to sales tax. The state estimates this sales tax holiday will save Tennesseans millions.
