Can you believe it? Most schools around here are back in session next week. It's officially "back to school" season, and Tax-Free weekend is this weekend for both sides of Texarkana.
That's right, those three dirty words... "back to school" are back, but we're not talking about school itself at the moment, right now we're talking about the Tax-Free sales weekend leading up to back to school.
One of the best things about living in Texarkana is that you get to take advantage of two Tax Free weekends. Earlier this week I told you about Tax Free Weekend in Arkansas (August 4-5) now it's time to tell you about Tax Free Weekend in Texas. Make a note, August 10-12, 2018 Texas residents will get to enjoy the same savings as its next door neighbors across the state line.
There's one good thing about living in Texarkana you get to take advantage of two sales tax holidays. Texarkana, Ark. residents can cash in on Arkansas Sales Tax Holiday on August 5-6, 2017.
This year's Tax-Free Weekend in Texas will be August 7-9. Shoppers can avoid paying sales tax on school supplies, clothes and footwear for back-to-school.
Benjamin Franklin once said, "The only things certain in life are death and taxes." Well, kinda... because Tax Free Weekend in Texas is almost here!
You can always tell when it's getting close to the school season. Those tax free shopping days start coming around to help with your back-to-school shopping. Fortunately, we live in a town where we get to enjoy two Tax Free Days.
