Let’s go shopping! Tax-Free Shopping!

This is the time to get those school supplies during this sales tax-free holiday weekend!

The sales tax holiday begins today, Friday August 1, and runs through Sunday August 3.

The 2025 Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday exempts all state and local sales or use tax taxes during the exemption period on qualifying items. During prior years only state and some local sales and use taxes were exempt, Senate Bill 153 changed this by exempting all local sales and use tax on qualifying items. (dor.mo.gov)

The sales tax exemption is limited to:

• Clothing – any article having a taxable value of $100 or less
• School supplies – not to exceed $50 per purchase
• Computer software – taxable value of $350 or less
• Personal computers – not to exceed $1,500
• Computer peripheral devices – not to exceed $1,500
• Graphing calculators – not to exceed $150
