If you live in one of nine eligible states, you can buy a range of Apple products without paying state sales tax.
The sales tax holidays take place annually, with varying dates and product eligibility, but in almost all cases you get only a few days to act …
Sales tax holidays are brief periods in which states let companies sell products without adding sales tax to the total. Local sales taxes may still apply.
In most cases, the ability to take advantage of them for Apple purchases is constrained by price limits, and some are restricted to very specific product categories. But it’s definitely worth checking out to see whether you can save money, so here are the details highlighted by Apple.
