Texas Tax Free Weekend Returns Aug 9-11
Source: General / Radio One
This weekend! During Texas’ tax-free weekend, qualifying items like school supplies, clothing and backpacks can be bought without paying state sales tax.
Qualifying Items
Online Purchases and Telephone Orders
During the holiday you can buy qualifying items in-store, online, by telephone, mail, custom order, or any other means. The sale of the item must take place during the specific period. The purchase date is easy to determine when the purchase is made in-store but becomes more complicated with remote purchases. The purchaser must have given the consideration for the item during the period even if the item may not be delivered until after the period is over.
Sales Tax Holiday Refund Requests
If you pay sales tax on qualifying items during the sales tax holiday, you can ask the seller for a refund of the tax paid. The seller can either grant the refund or provide their customer with Form 00-985, Assignment to Right to Refund (PDF), which allows the purchaser to file the refund claim directly with the Comptroller’s office.
