Tax Free Weekend in Tennessee

Tax Free Weekend in Tennessee

One of the greatest things about living in Tennessee is the low amount of taxes. Unlike many other states, the cost of taxes is significantly lower in Tennessee. In Cumberland County specifically, there are very low property taxes and no wheel tax. The only catch is that there is a higher sales tax. The sales tax for the Cumberland County area is 9.75%. This weekend is the last before the students gear up and get ready to go back to school. There is a lot of shopping to be done before they can load up and head to school. Every year, Tennessee has a weekend that there is no sales tax on school related items. This weekend is finally here. Friday through Sunday, this weekend only is the tax free weekend all throughout the state. The items that are tax free include clothes, backpacks, pens, paper, and other small items. Computers, software, dorm room materials and other back to school memorabilia are all included as well. Take advantage of this weekend and save a ton of money!
