Virginians shopping this weekend may spend a little less at the cash register as the sales tax holiday returns from Friday, Oct. 20 at 12:01 a.m. to Sunday, Oct. 22 at 11:59 p.m.
During this period, Virginians can buy a number of items in stores, online, by mail order, and by telephone without paying sales tax.
“As Virginians continue to face inflation and high prices, Virginians will receive some needed tax relief this weekend,” said Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin. “This sales tax holiday is an important measure to help Virginians keep more of their hard-earned money when purchasing essential school supplies, hurricane preparedness items and clothing,”
School supplies, clothing and footwear are eligible.
- Qualified school supplies – $20 or less per item
