129. Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday
If you haven’t gone school supply shopping yet, this is a great week to do it. That’s because the Illinois Sales Tax Holiday is underway and runs through Sunday, August 15th. The holiday suspends the State’s sales tax of 5% on eligible school supplies, clothing and footwear, while leaving the 1.25% rate paid to local governments.
The tax exemption applies to clothing and footwear with a retail selling price of less than $100.

You’ll also find some great information about qualifying and non-qualifying items at The Arboretum of South Barrington website which you’ll find by clicking HERE. Happy shopping!
