This is the last day of the North Carolina Sales Tax Holiday. It began on Friday (Aug 1st) and continues until midnight tonight (Aug 3rd).
G.S. 105-164.13C provides an exemption for certain items of tangible personal property sold between 12:01 A.M. on the first Friday in August and 11:59 P.M. the following Sunday. For 2008, the dates are Friday, August 1st through Sunday, August 3rd. Clothing, footwear, and school supplies of $100 or less per item; school instructional materials of $300 or less per item; sports and recreation equipment of $50 or less per item, computers of $3,500 or less per item; and computer supplies of $250 or less per item will be exempt.
If you’re buying a computer or other large exempted item it can add up to a substantial 7% savings.
