According to the NC Department of Revenue's website "clothing accessories, jewelry, cosmetics, protective equipment, wallets, furniture, items used in a trade or business, and rentals are not covered by the exemption and will be subject to the applicable tax."
If you plan to take advantage of the tax-free weekend, make the most of your savings by following some simple tips.
- Plan ahead by looking through sales papers to locate the best sales before heading out.
- Use coupons, if available, to save the most money.
- If you are planning to make a large purchase such as a computer this weekend would be a great time to do it.
- Make a list of what you need before heading out and stick to it. Impulse buying just because it is "tax-free" will not save you money!
