Sales tax holiday Aug. 3-5 The Clarke County Commission as well as the city councils of Grove Hill, Jackson and Thomasville voted to participate in this weekend's program. The Towns of Coffeeville and Fulton will not participate. Families with school-aged children are expected to spend almost 7 percent more on backto school shopping this year, according to a national survey of consumer intentions. That number could be even higher in Alabama, as the state observes its second sales tax holiday with more local governments participating than last year. Alabama's sales tax holiday begins at 12:01 a.m. Friday, Aug. 3, and ends at midnight, Sunday, Aug. 5. The state's four-percent sales tax as well as sales taxes levied by any of the 225 cities and counties that have agreed to participate are waived for those three days on: -clothing priced at $100 or less; -school supplies priced at $50 or less; -books valued at $30 or less; and
-computers and computer equipment with a selling price of $750 or less.
