Hello fellow North Carolinians! My office just got notification in the mail about when our tax-free days are for purchasing school supllies, clothes, etc. Here is what it says:

G.S. 105-164.13C authorizes a sales tax holiday in North Carolina. For 2005, the sales tax holiday will begin at 12:01 a.m. on Firday, August 5th and will end at 12:00 midnight on Sunday, August 7th. During the sales tax holiday period, retail sales of the following items are exempt from all State and local sales or use taxes, including the Mecklenburg Public Transportation Tax: clothing with a sales price of one hundred dollars ($100.00) or less per item; school supplies with a sales price of one hundred dollars ($100.00) or less per item; computers with a sales price of three thousand five hundred dollars ($3500.00) or less per item; and sport or recreational equipment with a sales price of fifty dollars ($50.00) or less per item.

There is now an all-inclusive list of items that qualify as "school supplies". Only items included on the list will be exempt from tax as school supplies during the holiday. The list of school supplies and other information on the holiday is contained in a document entitled "Important Information Regarding the Sales Tax Holiday" that is available on the Department's website.
