Take advantage of sales tax holiday

By Staff
The state's fourth annual sales tax holiday will be held Friday through Sunday.
The sales tax holiday was enacted in 2006 to coincide with the beginning of the school year.
During that weekend, shoppers in Alabama do not pay the state's base four percent sales tax on almost anything associated with going back to school such as clothing, books and computer supplies.
Cities and counties decide individually whether to collect their sales taxes during the three-day weekend, which is held on the first full weekend of each August.
Franklin County's one percent sales tax will be waived, as will the city taxes in Russellville and Red Bay.
What a better time to hit the stores.
