(WSIL) -- The school year is approaching and many parents in Missouri are expected to gather up supplies this weekend, tax-free.
Missouri's sales tax holiday went into effect at 12:01 a.m. Friday and ends at midnight on Sunday.
Certain back-to-school purchases, such as clothing, school supplies, computers, and other items as defined by the statute, are exempt from sales tax for this time period only.
The holiday applies to state and local sales taxes when a local jurisdiction chooses to participate in the holiday.
If one or all of your local taxing jurisdictions are not participating in the sales tax holiday, the state's portion of the tax rate (4.225%) will remain exempt for the sale of qualifying sales tax holiday items.
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
Below is the list of cities that will not participate in the 2022 sales tax holiday. City sales tax in these locations will still be collected on the sale of qualifying holiday items.
