This is the last tax-free weekend, as the NC General Assembly recently eliminated it. So, get out and take advantage of the great deals you can get on computers, school supplies and other items.
The North Carolina sales tax holiday begins Friday, Aug. 2 and runs through Sunday, Aug. 4. During this time, retailers temporarily suspend sales tax on certain items like clothing up to $100, school supplies up to $300 and computers up to $3,500.
Items That Won’t Be Taxed:
