Tax Free Weekend

This weekend is Tax Free Weekend in Missouri!

Visit Kansas City the first weekend in August (6-8) and take advantage of Missouri’s back-to-school sales-tax holiday. Shop for clothing, school supplies and computers — and pay no sales tax in select Missouri cities and counties.

 Fashionistas, shopaholics, and Back-to-School shoppers unite, it's time to take advantage of the Missouri Tax Free holiday. I've got the low-down on everything you need to know for the 2010 Missouri Sales Tax Holiday, August 3-5th, 2012.

What Does the Missouri Tax Free Weekend Mean?:

The Missouri Sales Tax holiday draws shoppers from around the metro and neighboring states who wish to take advantage of tax exempt purchases. Missouri instituted this wonderful holiday which begins at 12:01 a.m. on the first Friday in August and ends at midnight on the following Sunday. The holiday allows tax exemptions on certain back-to-school purchases--which include clothing, school supplies, computers and computer software. (PS No need to be in school to take advantage!)

Qualifying Items

The sales tax exemption is limited to:
  • Clothing – any article having a taxable value of $100 or less
  • School supplies – not to exceed $50 per purchase
  • Computer software – taxable value of $350 or less per purchase
  • Personal computers – not to exceed $3,500
  • Computer peripheral devices – not to exceed $3,500
