Tax Free Shopping Today and Tomorrow

With school starting next week in Bossier Parish and the following week in Caddo we all have a chance to get our back to school clothes a little cheaper courtesy of the state of Louisiana. Below is the info you need as far as what’s tax free and what isn’t.

The tax-free savings applies to the following items:
• Purchases under $2,500
• Excludes the purchase of taxable services, automobiles, and meals

Be careful not to overspend just because the tax free weekend is going on in your area. The regular sales tax rate in Louisiana is only 4%, so that's how much money you'd be saving - along with your local sales tax, if applicable. By shopping around, and also using coupons, you might find that the items you're looking for are less expensive either before the tax free weekend or after it takes place.
