Apple has listed the products that are eligible for upcoming sales tax holidays that will occur in select U.S. states. Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Missouri, Tennessee, and West Virginia. While there are other states that will also be holding sales tax holidays, such as Massachusetts, New Mexico, and South Carolina, Apple has yet to add them to its list.
State sales tax holidays provide a small window of opportunity to purchase select Apple products online or in stores without being required to pay sales tax on the purchase. Eligible products and price limits vary from state to state. Complete details are available on the Apple website. While the sales tax savings may not appear during the checkout process, they will be reflected on the final receipt.
The tax-free holidays begin in late July to early August. Depending on the state, eligible Apple products may include Macs, iPads, iPhones, and/or accessories.
Sales tax holiday discounts can be combined with Apple’s ongoing Back to School promotion, which gives students up to a $150 Apple gift card with the purchase of an eligible Mac or iPad, as well as 20% off AppleCare+ plans, in addition to Apple’s educational discounts on select products.
