It's every shopper's favorite weekend of the year - tax free weekend is almost here in Massachusetts.

This year, the sales tax holiday will take place on Saturday, Aug. 10 and Sunday, Aug. 11. For these two days, retail items under $2,500 purchased for personal use will be exempt from the Massachusetts state sales tax. The sales tax in Massachusetts is 6.25%.

Shop! All MA businesses open Aug. 10 and 11 that make taxable sales are required to take part in the sales tax holiday. If any retailer does charge sales tax, the individual business is responsible to give a refund.
