Sales Tax Holiday
Legislation passed by the 2007 General Assembly added two new Virginia sales tax "holidays" to the calendar for retail dealers and consumers: a four-day tax exemption holiday for Energy Star Qualified Products was held in October (the first Energy Star holiday was held October 5-8, 2007), and a seven-day exemption period for Hurricane Preparedness Equipment was held for the first time May 25-31, 2008. Virginia's first sales tax holiday, for school supplies and clothing, was held in August of 2006 and 2007 and continued in 2008.
For additional information about all three sales tax holidays, including guidelines, FAQs, and lists of eligible items for each of the Virginia sales tax holidays, visit the Sales Tax Holiday Information Center.
