What Will You Buy During the Tax-Free Weekend?
Electronics? Books? Clothing? Back-to-school materials? Where will you be spending this Saturday and Sunday.
Shoppers will be getting a break to the hit on their wallets during this weekend, Aug. 11 to 12, during a sales tax holiday in Massachusetts.
This weekend the 6.25 percent sales tax levy will be suspended on most items less than $2,500. Excluded items including tobacco products, utilities, motor vehicles, motorboats and meals.
That still leaves appliances, electronics, household items, toys and a variety of other products people can buy without paying taxes. Is there something you have your eye on that you might buy this weekend?
