A reminder from the Iowa Department of Revenue: Iowa’s Annual Sales Tax Holiday is the first Friday and Saturday of August. The annual break from sales tax is the perfect time to save on clothes, shoes, or advanced shopping for the holiday season. In general, select clothing and footwear are tax exempt – meaning no state sales tax will be collected, but there are restrictions.

Not interested in leaving the couch? Internet sales are included if they are ordered and paid for during the exemption period. Visit the Sales Tax Holiday page for full details.
