Some area businesses are gearing up for a busy weekend as the annual back-to-school sales tax holiday goes into effect just after midnight on Friday.
The weekend-long exemption from state and county sales tax — the city of Sedalia does not participate in the tax holiday — is limited to clothing having a taxable value of $100 or less, school supplies that do not exceed $50 per purchase, computer software with a taxable value of $350 or less, personal computers that do not exceed $3,500 and computer peripheral devices that do not exceed $3,500, according to the Missouri Department of Revenue website, dor.mo.gov.
