2018 Sales Tax Holiday Schedule by State

Looking for ways to save this back-to-school season? Mark your calendars! Here is the latest sales tax holiday schedule.

2018 Sales Tax Holiday Schedule

Each year, several states in the U.S. have a sales tax holiday weekend–or sometimes a whole week! Some states offer two or three different sales tax holidays over the year, often focused on different types of items. Sales tax holidays are an especially big hit around back-to-school season. They are a great way to save as you stock up on school supplies or outfit your kids for the coming school year.

Back-to-school offer – The Chase College Checking℠ account provides students a checking account with a wide variety of tools to manage their day to day finances. Students have access to 16,000 ATM’s and over 5,100 Chase branches along with Chase QuickDeposit, the Chase Mobile App and a VISA® debit card. For a limited time, new students can earn a $50 bonus by signing up, depositing $25, enrolling in paperless statements and making 10 qualifying transactions inside of the first 60 days.

Since we first published this article, we’ve seen some changes in sales tax holidays. Georgia and North Carolina dropped their programs, and several states added or expanded theirs.

This schedule gives you the latest information on sales tax holidays nationwide. A few of the states have not released their sales tax holiday dates as of this update (July 2018), but look for more information on specific dates in the future!
