Texas' Sales Tax Holiday: Work uniforms, cowboy boots exempt

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Texas' 23rd annual Sales Tax Holiday starts today and means that some purchases under $100 (in particular back-to-school items) are exempt from sales tax.
While the sales tax rate has not changed since 1990, when it was raised to 6.25%, inflation certainly has — according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, $100 now as the buying power of $56.09 in June 1999, when the holiday began.Read the Texas legislative text governing the Sales Tax Holiday's rules here.Texas Compt
