Apparently, not to be outdone by other states with sales tax holidays for back to school, Massachusetts may create a holiday for all retail goods on purchases up to $2,500 during the second weekend in August (August 11-12).
If you’re from Massachusetts, you may be experiencing a little deja vu all over again… Didn’t the Commonwealth already do that? Well, yes – sort of. There has been a sales tax holiday each year for the past three years – but the 2007 break has not yet been approved. It passed in the House but will not be voted on in the Senate until next week – you know, in August – just days before the event. Talk about cutting it close…
