Southland Savvy
Illinois will hold its first state sales tax holiday starting Friday and running through Aug. 15.
School supplies including calculators, backpacks, legal pads, pens, pencils and erasers will be exempt from the state’s 5 percent sales tax during the holiday, which was signed into law by Gov. Pat Quinn earlier this summer.
Sales taxes imposed by municipalities, counties, transit agencies and any other government body are not included in the tax holiday.
Although intended to relieve some of the burden from parents of school-age children, anyone who purchases items on the exempt list will benefit from the holiday.
