"Back-to-school" tax holiday this week

Georgia’s 2008 “back to school” sales tax holiday is this week. It begins just after midnight Wednesday and runs through midnight Sunday.

Clothing, shoes, school supplies and personal computers will be exempt from state and local sales taxes. Buyers get tax breaks on on-line purchases as well as in- store transactions.

For a list of eligible tax-exempt items go to the State Department of Revenue website.
