Shoppers in Arkansas will see another year of tax-free purchasing during the 10th annual sales tax holiday beginning Saturday. Purchases must be made between 12:01 a.m. Saturday and 11:59 p.m. Sunday to qualify as tax-free.
According to the Department of Finance and Administration, during the 48-hour period, state and local sales tax will not be collected on clothing and footwear if the sales price is less than $100 per item, clothing accessories and equipment if the sales price is less than $50 per item, school supplies, art supplies and school instructional materials.
This will be the second year electronics are included in the tax-free items. DFA communications director, Scott Hardin, says the decision was made last year after students became dependent on technology during the COVID-19 pandemic.
All retailers are required to participate and may not charge tax on items legally tax-exempt during the sales tax holiday.
