RICHMOND, Va. — Typically, families would head out to this weekend to take advantage of the tax-free holiday to buy school supplies, clothes and other eligible products — but Virginia's annual summer tax holiday will not be happening this year.
Every year since 2006, during the first weekend in August, you could shop for school supplies, clothing, hurricane preparedness products and some energy saving appliances without paying state sales tax.
But state lawmakers decided not to extend the program for another year, so it officially expired July 1.
No extension or renewal was made during the 2023 General Assembly session.
