This weekend, shoppers in Arkansas and Missouri will see state and local sales taxes exempt on items such as clothing, electronic devices and school supplies.
In Arkansas, purchases must be made between 12:01 a.m. Saturday and 11:59 p.m. Sunday to qualify as tax-free. Missouri’s tax-free weekend begins Friday morning at 12:01 and will run through Sunday night.
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.
All retailers are required to participate and may not charge tax on items legally tax-exempt during the sales tax holiday.
