Take advantage of the tax free holidays to get stocked up on back to school supplies for yourself and your children for the upcoming school year. Virginia’s tax free holiday runs August 3-5 and Maryland hosts “Shop Maryland Week” from August 12-18.

In Virginia, during this three-day period, purchases of certain school supplies, clothing and footwear will be exempt from the Virginia sales tax. Each eligible school supply item must be priced at $20 or less, and each eligible article of clothing and footwear must be priced at $100 or less.
