1st Day of School for area Arkansas schools is Monday, August 14th-

 

Arkansas Sales Tax Holiday -  August 5th & 6th

 

It's Back to School Time!!!!

 

The substantial cost to families, this time of year, is why the General Assembly passed Act 757 in 2011. Act 757 provides a sales tax holiday, the first weekend of August. The holiday means state and local taxes are not collected or paid on the purchase of certain items.

 

This year's sales tax holiday will begin at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday August 5, 2017, and end at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday August 6, 2017,allowing shoppers the opportunity to purchase certain School Supplies, School Art Supplies, School Instructional Materials, and clothing free of state and local sales or use tax.
 

Currently, the state sales tax is 6.5 percent and city and local sales taxes vary across the state. The De Queen & Sevier County sales tax adds 3.375 per cent for a total of 9.875.
 

All retailers are required to participate and may not charge tax on items that are legally tax-exempt during the Sales Tax Holiday.

 

For more information, contact a customer service representative by phone Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 501-682-7104.

Educators also recommend that parents start putting their child to bed at a regular bedtime and keep a routine for a few weeks before school starts.
