Back-to-School Tax-Free Weekends Set for Multiple US States in August 2025

Several states in the U.S. South and Midwest are offering tax-free weekends in early August 2025 to help families save on back-to-school shopping. Texas will hold its tax-free weekend from August 8-10, exempting clothing, footwear, backpacks, and school supplies priced under $100, with both in-store and online purchases eligible. Arkansas's tax holiday is more comprehensive, covering clothing, footwear, school supplies, electronics, and art materials with some price limits. Missouri's Tax-Free Weekend runs from August 1-3, waiving sales tax on clothing, computers, shoes, and supplies under specific price caps, though accessories like jewelry and watches are excluded. New Mexico also offers a tax-free weekend starting August 1, exempting clothing, shoes, computers, and school supplies within set price limits. Virginia's tax holiday, also from August 1-3, includes school supplies, clothing, footwear, and hurricane preparedness items with specified price caps, aiming to ease the financial pressure on families during the back-to-school season.
