New Jersey makes back-to-school shopping easier with tax-free holiday

N.J. is having its first ever tax-free back-to-school shopping event, which includes electronics and recreational equipment needed for sports

MOORESTOWN, N.J. - Children are headed back to school and anyone who hasn’t finished purchasing school supplies can get them tax-free in New Jersey. That includes electronics and recreational equipment needed for sports.

It’s the back-to-school time of year, but parents in New Jersey, or those who cross a bridge to get there, are getting a tax-free holiday for things they need for school.

New Jersey is holding its first-ever sales tax holiday and it includes school supplies, computer goods and sports equipment.

The New Jersey tax holiday on school supplies lasts through September 5th. Ski boots, wetsuits and waders are even tax-free, as they are considered recreational-use supplies.
