Governor Kay Ivey is encouraging Alabamians to take advantage of the upcoming sales tax holiday, which will begin this month, allowing students and parents to purchase school supplies without the usual 4% tax.

Alabama’s back-to-school sales tax holiday will begin this month, allowing students and parents to collect their school supplies without the customary 4% tax imposed on them the other 363 days of the year.

The House of Representatives voted on Tuesday to approve one of a pair of tax-related bills while delaying voting on legislation to raise the state’s internet sales tax.

Parents getting their kids ready for the new school year will have the opportunity to save on supplies next weekend.
