When does tax-free weekend end?

In some states, shoppers enjoy a sales-tax-free time at the register – for certain categories of items, up to a certain amount. The tax-free weekend mostly collides with the back-to-school season, but state revenue departments get to choose when to have a tax-free weekend, and that’s assuming the state is going to have a tax-free weekend in the first place. 

The tax-free weekend ends a few days after it first starts. Since the dates are different for every state that has such an event, there isn’t a set day for every tax-free weekend to end. For the time being, 17 states have announced their sales-tax-free weekend dates and the included items. Here is when the tax-free weekend is going to end in those states for the 2025 calendar year. 

• Alabama: July 18
• Arkansas: August 8
• Connecticut: August 21
• Florida: August 9
• Iowa: August 7
• Maryland: August 14
• Mississippi: July 31
• Missouri: August 8
• New Mexico: August 8
• Ohio: August 8
• Oklahoma: August 8
• Tennessee: August 1
• Texas: August 8
• Virginia: August 8
• West Virginia: August 2

As it can be seen from the above list, the sales-tax-free weekend has already ended in some states. But, this only includes the back-to-school season. For what it’s worth, there are other tax-free weekends in some states that span over a year.
