The sales tax holiday for 2020 will occur on August 29 and 30. Retail items of up to $2,500, purchased in Massachusetts for personal use on these two days, will be exempt from sales tax. This is a time when caregivers typically use the weekend to buy back to school essentials without paying sales tax.
Massachusetts residents won't have to pay sales tax on retail items priced at $2,500 or less each, as long as they purchase the products for personal use during the MA tax-free weekend. The first $175 of a clothing item priced above $2,500 isn't subject to sales tax, either.
It's the perfect chance to support local and small businesses! For more information check out the MA Government Website.
