NASHVILLE (AP) — The Department of Revenue wants residents across the state to remember that they can shop tax-free in Tennessee August 7-9.

By law, Tennessee's annual sales tax holiday is held every year, beginning at 12:01 a.m. on the first Friday in August and ending at 11:59 p.m. the following Sunday night.

During that weekend, consumers will not pay state or local sales tax on clothing, school and art supplies that cost $100 or less per item and computers that cost $1,500 or less.
