State sales tax holiday for emergency preparation supplies
« on: April 12, 2017, 06:58:45 am »
AUSTIN - While many people focus on the sales tax holiday on back to school supplies in August, there is another sales tax holiday in the spring focusing on emergency preparation supplies.

Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar’s office said Texans can purchase certain items tax free during the April 22-24 holiday. There is no limit on the number of qualifying items a person can purchase, including:

- Batteries, fuel containers and flashlights priced at less than $75;
- Hurricane shutters and emergency ladders priced at less than $300; and
- Portable generators priced at less than $3,000.
