It is a weekend that benefits both Tennessee shoppers and business owners.
“Tax free weekend means that you can purchase computers under $1,500, I believe, school supplies and clothing under $100, and you will be exempt from paying sales tax,” said Jackson Chamber CEO/President Kyle Spurgeon.
Tennessee holds this weekend every year. Spurgeon says it’s good for the local economy.
“Shopping online is extremely easy. Anything that we can do to encourage folks to shop locally helps. So when you go out and you buy your school supplies and your computers or clothing, and you do that locally, of course that helps the local economy,” Spurgeon said.
