‘Tax-Free’ Weekend Underway

The end of summer vacation is fast approaching, so that means it is back-to-school shopping time.

This weekend is a tax-free one in Oklahoma, meaning parents could save a lot of money on supplies.

Although shopping sales tax-free only applies to clothes and shoes, supplies are on sale this weekend.

Friday through Sunday, all clothes and shoes under $100 are tax-free at participating local merchants.

The holiday begins at 12:01 a.m. Friday, August 5, 2016 and ends at twelve midnight Sunday, August 7, 2016.

The Oklahoma Tax Commission has frequently asked questions about the holiday on their website, ok.gov/tax
