Emergency Preparation Supplies Sales Tax Holiday 2016

This year’s Emergency Preparation Supplies Sales Tax Holiday begins Saturday, April 23, and ends Monday, April 25. During this time, shoppers can enjoy purchasing an unlimited number of qualifying emergency preparation supplies tax-free, such as portable generators, hurricane shutters, emergency ladders, and even smaller items like batteries and first aid kits. Particular items, such as plywood and stepladders, do not qualify for the tax exemption, so be sure to double check the complete list on the Texas Comptroller’s website. If you were considering shopping for emergency preparation supplies in the near future, this weekend is a great time to do so.
