This week, Vermont residents can escape paying sales tax on qualified Energy Star appliances costing $2,000 or less.
The energy-efficient equipment must be for
personal use. In addition to an exemption from Vermont’s 6 percent sales tax, local option sales
taxes will not be collected either.
The tax holiday runs through Friday, July 18.
Details on the holiday and eligible purchases can be found at this Vermont tax department Web page.
More tax holidays to come: I ran across the Vermont Energy Star tax-free event while working on a story on upcoming back-to-school tax holidays.
More than a dozen states will offer shoppers tax breaks in August, most of them the first weekend of the month.
When I get all those dates, details and links compiled here in a few days, I’ll post a consolidated state sales tax holiday list. So stay tuned.
