No sales tax-free weekend in Georgia for 2017. But just across the bridge, South Carolina will have the annual sales tax holiday weekend Aug. 4 to Aug. 6 this year to help save on your back-to-school. Which will make it worth the trip to hit the Tanger Outlets, Target etc. along US 278 in Bluffton, SC.

South Carolina 2017 Sales Tax Holiday Aug. 4-6 (3 days)

South Carolina’s Tax Free Weekend applies to the following items:
Clothing, Accessories, Footwear, School supplies, Computers, Computer equipment.

Not exempt: Jewelry, cosmetics, eyewear, furniture and layaway purchases.

____________________________

No Georgia tax-free weekend

Georgia State lawmakers failed to pass legislation during this year’s Legislative session to provide for any 2017 tax holidays, according to the Georgia Department of Revenue, ending the state’s two tax-free weekends.
