Have any of you peeps heard of that tax free holiday that these politicans are trying to pass. Supposedly, they are trying to jump start the retail industry by having a day or time when everything you buy would be tax free. Any news??

 

Yeah I heard about this a couple of weeks ago...I am waiting for news. I really hope they go through with this...Last I heard it was somewhere along the lines of a whole week! My dad will be buying a car during this time if it goes through.....I mean the sellers aren't losing any money so there is no reason for them to raise prices right?

 

for a whole week? wowzers...

all the better more incentives to buy a new car...

-end of the year
-tax break
-economic slump

or big ticket items

Is this part of the so-called "Budget Stimulus Package"??

 

You really think the "states and local communities" will do this? I don't think so..

 

The whole tax free holiday is a no-go right now they tried to pass it for the first 10 days of the christmas shopping season. They are still trying but its a state by state thing if its passed. Most states say they will do it if they are reimbursed for all the taxes.

 

Florida passed a tax free week a few years back. We have it right before school begins in the fall, mostly due to consideration for parents who have to buy a ton of clothing and suppplies for their kids.

Its a great time to stock up on clothing and shoes...but it doesn't cover high dollar ticket items.

 

my uncle just told me about it on turkey day. i hope they go with this. i'm going car shopping today, the 23rd. it'd really save a lot of money.
