(AUSTIN) —Texas Comptroller Don Huffines today announced that Texas families are expected to save an estimated $142.5 million in state and local sales taxes during this year’s sales tax holiday, which runs Friday, Aug. 7, through midnight Sunday, Aug. 9. If a retailer mistakenly charges sales tax on a qualifying item, customers may request a refund directly from the seller. For more information about sales tax refunds, go to the Comptroller’s website. The Texas Legislature determines both the dates of the sales tax holiday and the list of qualifying items each year. A full list of tax-free items is available at TexasTaxHoliday.org.
