Sales Tax Free Weekend

Does QVC honor tax free weekends for the states who still have them? Especially regarding computers and clothing. Thanks.

@Toot1920, I know they do for clothing items. Not sure about computers.

My state of Colorado does not honor any tax-free days. We always pay sales tax, even internet sales tax.

just a reminder......

for MARYLANDERS, tax free week begins on august 12th and runs through august 18th 2018. it always begins the second sunday of august.

Qualifying apparel and footwear $100 or less, per item, are exempt from the state sales tax. This year, the first $40 of a backpack or bookbag purchase is also tax-free. Accessory items, except for backpacks, are not included.

@Toot1920 QVC will honor the tax free weekend but the items that will be tax free are determined by your own state.

Your state may limit the amount that can be tax free for an expensive item. You need to check with your own state website to see what will be tax free and if there are restrictions on the cost of certain items.

My state, New Mexico, include clothing and computers in its tax-free week-end and QVC honors the tax free status on both.

@Toot1920 Again, you need to check with YOUR state to see what is considered tax-free.

If computers are not, then the Q will charge your usual sales tax.

The issue isn't what the Q honors-they will honor anything your state says is tax-free.

But if your state says something is NOT tax-free for that week-end, then the Q will charge appropriately.

@Toot1920, and anyone interested, here's one helpful article (of many). I'm never sure which links are okay to post, so this one isn't clickable -- just copy and paste the link or search for the article title on the DealNews.com site.

The chart they post has hyperlinks to all the states' names, making it easy to go over to your location and see what's what.😊

As @Cakers3 said, it's specific to the state.

@BalletBabe, Most states, if not all, do include online internet shopping -- I just now went to the article I posted and looked at Florida's link, and they include "Mail-Order, Catalog, or Internet Sales." I used the opportunity many years ago to purchase an iMac and iPad from Apple.com. That was a really nice savings, and I also used Discover Deals so there was a generous cash-back, too.😊

@dooBdoo Thank You very much. I didn't know that. Good to know and appreciate you letting me know. I have been thinking about a Mac. I despise Microsoft anymore. Do you like your Mac?

You're welcome, @BalletBabe! I'm a fan of Apple products and service. I started using them and teaching hospital staff on both Apple and Windows-based PCs in the mid-1980s, and I found so many benefits to Apple that I moved exclusively to their devices and software. (The Apple vs. Windows PC debate is longstanding, often a very personal preference, and this just happens to be my choice from years of experience in a national medical center system.) I recommend them, as do many other posters (usually in threads in the "Electronics" sub-forum). As you probably would guess, in many ways it will look and act differently from the PC system you're accustomed to navigating, so I think it's important to remember the switch to such a new computing environment will take a wee bit of time and patience... which, in my opinion, is extremely well worth it. Whatever you choose, I hope you'll be pleased.😊

@dooBdoo I have an ipad and a iphone, so hopefully that would help with the change. Thanks again!

Got a question for people who live in PA. Do you pay tax on clothing in a store? Or online? I am near the border (almost) and can get there easily.
