Tax holiday promises bargain for shoppers
Alabama’s 11th annual sales tax holiday for school-related items begins at 12:01 a.m. Friday, Aug. 5, and ends at midnight Sunday, Aug. 7, giving shoppers the opportunity to purchase certain school supplies, computers, books and clothing free of the state’s 4 percent sales or use tax.
Franklin County and local municipalities will also be participating in the sales tax holiday.
