Here are some details on the School Supplies and Clothing holiday that will occur this weekend.

The Sales Tax Holiday begins at 12:01 am on August 3rd and ends at midnight on August 5th. During this three-day period, purchases of certain school supplies, clothing and footwear will be exempt from the Virginia sales tax. Each eligible school supply item must be priced at $20 or less, and each eligible article of clothing and footwear must be priced at $100 or less.
