Friday, August 5 through Sunday, August 7, 2016, marks tax-free weekend in Virginia.
During this holiday period, you can purchase qualifying school supplies, clothing, shoes, and other assorted items without paying the usual 5.3% sales tax.
Most school supplies that sell for less than $20 per item and most clothing and footwear that sell for less than $100 per item are eligible for the tax-free discount.
With the first day of school rapidly approaching, it's a great time to stock up on school essentials for the kids.
