FREE SALES TAX

Back to school season means tax-free shopping days in 15 states and the District of Columbia. For example, from August 3 to 5 this year, Missouri residents can avoid paying sales tax on clothing purchases under $100, computer software under $350 and even new computers under $3,500. And purchases don't even have to be for a child or a student.
