Many Missouri residents and Show-Me State visitors are gearing up to save some extra cash during the annual Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday.
As the Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) has announced on its website, this year’s dates for state and local sales tax exemptions on DOR-approved school-related items are Aug. 4-6. Like previous years, localities may choose to participate or not.
Also like previous years, the sales tax exemptions are applicable to the following categories:
Clothing: Items that are eligible for exemption include shirts, pants, dresses and shoes. Clothing accessories, however, are not. Accessories include watches, jewelry, ties, headbands and belt buckles. Additionally, the DOR has stated that articles of clothing with a taxable value of more than $100 are ineligible.
School supplies: DOR-approved supplies include textbooks, notebooks, crayons, art supplies, rulers, backpacks, chalk and globes.
Personal computers and related peripherals: The tax emption is applicable to computers and related peripherals priced at less than $1,500.
Proof of residency is not required to shop during the sales tax emption period.
