Apple Lists Products Eligible for Sales Tax-Free Holidays in 8 U.S. States

Apple recently updated its website with a list of products eligible for upcoming 2024 sales tax holidays in select U.S. states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Massachusetts, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

Apple Sales Tax Free Holidays
Sales tax holidays provide a limited-time opportunity to purchase select Apple products online or in stores without paying sales tax. Eligible products and price limits vary from state to state, with complete details outlined on Apple's website. Apple says tax savings may not appear during checkout, but will be reflected on the final receipt.

The tax-free holidays run from July 19 through August 11, with the exact dates varying by state. Some other U.S states are offering tax-free holidays this summer, but they are not listed on Apple's website at this time.

Sales tax holidays are especially beneficial to students, as the tax savings can be combined with Apple's ongoing Back to School promotion, which offers students up to a $150 Apple gift card with the purchase of an eligible Mac or iPad, as well as 20% off AppleCare+ plans. This is in addition to Apple's standard educational discounts on select products.

iPhone 16e reviews are now out, and Apple's custom-designed C1 modem has been put to the test.

America in 1776: "No taxation without representation! ????"

America today: "Here's a list of dates when you can buy a Mac without the government doing its best to get as much of your hard-earned money as it legally can. But only if you don't spend too much money. Which states are doing it? Just a few, and probably not yours."

Seriously though, I wish there were sales tax holidays where I live. ?

Funny enough, the devices you aren't paying tax on during those dates are exactly what has everyone so hypnotized they don't realize how badly they're being bent over by the government.
