If you buy something during the sales tax holiday and later exchange it for the same item, you won’t be charged tax even if the exchange is made after the sales tax holiday.
If you buy something during the weekend and return it after the holiday is over for store credit on a different item, sales tax applies to the sale of the newly purchased item, even if it would have been eligible for the exemption during the sales tax holiday. However, if you return it during the holiday and purchase a different eligible item, sales tax will not be applied.
You can use coupons and discounts during tax-free weekend. In fact, if the item is over $100 but a coupon or discount reduces the price to be under $100, sales tax will no longer be applied that weekend!*
*Manufacturer coupons are exempted from reducing an item’s price for the purpose of tax-free eligibility.
