Fuller says you can purchase some clothing and shoes tax-free. Although this is usually billed as a ‘back-to-school’ event, school supplies are not tax free, only clothing and shoes are tax-free. Other items are fully taxed as usual.
Fuller says he is often asked if the sales tax holiday includes online sales.
He expects a lot of Iowans to take advantage of the event.
Iowa’s tax-free holiday is this Friday, August 2nd, and Saturday, August 3rd until 11:59 p.m.
