Iowa’s tax-free holiday weekend begins this Friday, August 3rd, and ends on Saturday, August 4^th. During those two days, certain goods can be purchased tax-free. So how much will you save? The 6% state sales tax is waived throughout Iowa, and you can save even more as local taxes (amount varies by county) are waived as well. Below are some of the items that will be tax-exempt for the shopping holiday:

• Clothing: Including work and school uniforms, diapers, and coats. Under $100 per item
• Footwear: Including sandals, hiking boots and cowboy boots. Under $100 per item

Tax-free weekend offers great savings on hundreds of items, but not everything is exempt. For example, items such as backpacks, athletic uniforms, wallets, and shoes with spikes/cleats will not be exempt. See more information at https://tax.iowa.gov/iowas-annual-sales-tax-holiday.
