Get Back to School Savings with Mississippi’s Sales Tax Holiday
Posted on 14. Jul, 2009 by Connie in Retail

Mark your calendars Mississippians. According to the MS State Tax Commission, July 31-August 1, 2009 is our state tax holiday. What does this mean for you? It means you won’t have to pay the 7 percent sales tax on purchases of clothing and shoes that individually cost less than $100. These two days are the perfect time to plan your back to school shopping and save some dough!
A short list of eligible items during Mississippi’s sales tax holiday include:
- Athletic socks
- Baseball caps
- Blouses
- Bras
- Robes
- Skirts
- Gym suits
- Jeans
- Scarves
- Swimsuits
- Work Clothes
- Uniforms
