JEFFERSON CITY - Shoppers looking for a bargain on clothes, computers and school supplies can look forward to savings on these items in less than three weeks as part of Missouri’s annual “Back-to-School” Sales Tax Holiday.
By state law, the sales tax holiday begins on the first Friday in August and continues through the following Sunday. This year, the three-day holiday begins at midnight on Friday, Aug. 6, and runs through Sunday, Aug. 8. During this time period, the state’s 4.225 percent sales tax will not be assessed on certain purchases made in Missouri.
