If you’re among the thousands of parents getting ready to send your kids back to school, it’s time to start getting your shopping list together. The annual back-to-school Sales Tax Holiday will be held on August 3-5. Most school supplies costing $20 or less each and clothing items and footwear priced at $100 or less each will be exempt from state and local sales tax. The list of tax-exempt items is the same as last year and includes such products as pens, pencils, loose leaf ruled notebook paper, scissors, binders, backpacks, construction paper, sneakers, dresses, jeans and T-shirts. As long as each item purchased qualifies for the exemption, there is no limit on the number of items you can buy. For more information go to www.tax.virginia.gov
