Although most people in Texas are aware of our “Tax-Free Holiday” weekend, I thought I would do my part to spread the word.
If you are reading this blog and do not live in Texas then here is another good reason to become a Texan.
I am so blessed to live in such a wonderful community as Kingwood and that blessing is doubled because Kingwood lies in the great state of Texas. Texas cities have been on almost every “Best List” released this year. Texas currently has the strongest economy in the nation. So, the nation finally knows what Texans have always known: we live in the greatest state in the union.
Here is one of the “little” things that make living in this state great. Saving taxes! In a time when most cities, counties and states are experiencing budget woes, our state offers a helping hand. This weekend and this weekend only, which begins on Friday by the way, (August 15 –17) is a tax-free holiday weekend in Texas. The tax-free holiday day will save a minimum of 8% on every tax-free item.
The sole purpose of waving all state and local taxes is to help families with their children’s back to school needs.
What a great place to live – Texas
