NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee is starting a sales tax-free weekend today that covers back-to-school needs such as clothing, school supplies and computers.

The sales tax holiday runs from Friday through Sunday. It includes general clothing items that cost less than $100 each. School and art supplies that cost less than $100 an item also are covered. Computers, including laptops, are included if they cost $1,500 or less.

Shoppers can saves online and in stores. The items must be bought for personal use, not business or trade.

Two other sales tax holidays are occurring, too.

A grocery sales tax suspension last for all of August. The exemption for gun safes and safety devices began this month and runs through June 2023.
