The state’s tax free weekend will run Saturday, August 3rd through Sunday, August 4th. Purchases can be made in store or online, if the shipping address is within Arkansas. The list of items eligible during tax-free weekend includes electronic devices used commonly by students like computer monitors, cell phones, laptops, and e-readers. Electronics that qualify don’t have a price limit. As always, school supplies, clothes, and clothing items are also exempt. Other items on the list include things like diapers and briefcases.

Tax-free weekend in Arkansas began after a law was passed in 2011 calling for a sales tax holiday every year during the first weekend of August. This a time when families can shop for school without the burden of paying taxes on items, particularly school supplies, clothing, and more things related to classes. Both state and local sales taxes aren’t collected or paid during this time.
