OKLAHOMA CITY – Ahead of the annual Tax-Free Weekend, NFIB State Director Jerrod Shouse is encouraging consumers to shop small. The sales tax holiday, which begins Friday, Aug. 1, and runs through Sunday, Aug. 3, is a great opportunity to support local businesses.
“Main Street businesses are the foundation of our economy,” Shouse said. “They create good-paying jobs for Oklahomans, meet their customers’ needs, and keep our communities thriving. Every purchase made at a small business supports the Oklahoma economy, and during the taxfree holiday, your hard-earned dollars go even further. It’s a small way to make a big difference here at home.”
According to the Oklahoma Tax Commission, items that qualify for Tax-Free Weekend include any article of clothing or footwear designed to be worn on or about the body, with a sales price of less than $100.
