Tennessee Tax Free Holiday Expanded in 2021 to Include Prepared Food, Food, and Food Ingredients

Beginning this weekend, Tennesseans will be able to enjoy two new one-time holidays in addition to the traditional annual sales tax holiday. During these tax-free holiday periods, citizens can save nearly 10 percent on the qualifying items listed below while supporting our local businesses as well.

• Clothing, School Supplies, and Computers: Friday, July 30 – Sunday, August 1, 2021: During this weekend holiday, clothing priced under $100, school supplies priced under $100, and computers priced under $1500 are exempt from sales tax. Online purchases are included. 
• Food, Food Ingredients, and Prepared Food: Friday, July 30 – Thursday, August 5, 2021: During this week-long holiday, food, food ingredients, and prepared food are exempt from sales tax. This includes qualified sales of food and prepared food at grocery stores, restaurants, and food trucks. Takeout food is included in the holiday; however, alcoholic beverages are not included.
• Gun Safes and Safety Equipment, July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2022: During this holiday, which lasts an entire fiscal year, gun safes and specified gun safety devices sold at retail are exempt from sales tax.
