Select Apple products purchased for personal use are exempt from sales tax during Back to School (BTS) Sales Tax Holiday Dates at Apple [apple.com], sold & shipped by Amazon [amazon.com], Best Buy [bestbuy.com], BrandsMart [brandsmartusa.com] & other retailers - includes online and B&M stores.
  • Eligible products, price limits & dates vary by state. For more info: Apple.com [apple.com], Federation of Tax Administrators [taxadmin.org], Sales Tax Institute [salestaxinstitute.com].
  • If an item is ordered & paid for, but delivery is after the holiday, item is still tax exempt.
  • Merchants follow the specific state's time zone. Exceptions: 1) WV: time zone of the seller's location determines the authorized time period for the sales tax holiday when the purchaser & seller are located in different time zones.
  • At Apple.com, tax savings may not appear during checkout, but will be reflected on the final receipt
  • Partial Exemptions Do Not Apply - Total Cost Must Meet Price Limits: If an item sells for more than the threshold (e.g. $1700 for a MBP if the threshold is $1500), tax must be paid on the entire selling price
All authorized online and B&M retailers are required to participate if they are registered to collect tax in a state with a tax holiday & open during the specified dates - it's the law & violates tax codes. Exceptions: 1) Businesses that have been approved by a state's tax agency (e.g. low volume of gross sales, Florida - refer to TIP No. 22A01-08 [floridarevenue.com]); 2) New Mexico.
  • If you're charged sales tax: Contact your state's Tax Dept.
  • Costco.com orders: An email must be sent to request a refund of the sales tax - link [costco.com]
