With schools and colleges back to in-person learning in the fall, more Alabama parents are expected to take advantage of the savings associated with the state’s back-to-school sales tax holiday.

Alabama’s 16th annual back-to-school sales tax holiday is July 16-18. This marks the fifth time the annual tax holiday will take place on the third weekend of July.

From 12:01 a.m. Friday, July 16, until midnight, Sunday, July 18, the state waives its 4 percent sales tax on school-related supplies and clothing. More than 325 cities and counties throughout Alabama will waive their local taxes, too. Check the 2021 Participating Cities and Counties list to see if your local communities are participating.
