We hope that you will support Oklahoma small businesses during the annual Tax-Free Weekend that starts tomorrow.
Certain clothing and footwear items will be exempt from sales tax Friday, August 1 through Sunday, August 3.
Ahead of the annual Tax-Free Weekend, NFIB State Director Jerrod Shouse is encouraging consumers to shop small. The sales tax holiday is a great opportunity to support local businesses.
“Main Street businesses are the foundation of our economy,” Shouse said. “They create good-paying jobs for Oklahomans, meet their customers’ needs, and keep our communities thriving. Every purchase made at a small business supports the Oklahoma economy, and during the tax-free holiday, your hard-earned dollars go even further. It’s a small way to make a big difference here at home.”
According to the Oklahoma Tax Commission, items that qualify for Tax-Free Weekend include any article of clothing or footwear designed to be worn on or about the body, and the sales price is less than $100.
This is the perfect time to update the kids’ back-to-school wardrobes while saving money due to the no tax declaration.
