Louisiana August 3rd and 4th, state tax holiday!

What’s the purpose of a sales tax holiday? It perversely provides the least benefit to those who need tax relief the most, and the most benefit to those who need it least.
August 2nd, 2007 at 10:31 am
Don’t forget that many stores have sales before and after the sales tax holidays. They’re often much better than the sales tax relief.

Actually, given the regressive nature of a sales tax, I would think that it would provide the most help to those with the least.
August 2nd, 2007 at 1:49 pm
MW, why doesn’t it help poor people when things cost less? Doesn’t sales tax hurt those least able to pay?

Sales tax holidays — and of course, the comparable sales — are perfect for those who have limited income but still need to buy the necessary back-to-school supplies and clothing for their kids.

I love the tax holidays… bought my grill during a tax holiday…

Massachusetts is August 11th and 12th…
I think I might be buying an LCD for the bedroom and will ‘penalize’ myself buy throwing in the tax I would have spent, multiplied by two into our brokerage account.
August 5th, 2007 at 9:08 pm
Omg…. I never knew that there is one. I should travel to those cities next year since I’m also flying everywhere!

You forgot Massachusetts, it’s next week-end:
