2024 Tax Free Dates and Items List

When are the Tax Free Weekends for 2024

We get the question “When is Tax Free Weekend 2024?” a lot, so here is our best answer. To help drive the economy during the slower shopping months of the year (July & August), the state governments of various US states decided to temporarily not collect taxes on various items. Due to this normally being for one weekend only, it was referred to as a “Tax Free Weekend” or a “Sales Tax Holiday.” Full details of this are available on our chart below.
