Tennessee's Tax-Free Weekend 2026: What You Need to Know

If you've been waiting to tackle your back-to-school shopping or replace that aging laptop, now is the perfect time!

Tennessee's Tax-Free Weekend returns Friday, July 31 through Sunday, August 2, 2026, giving Knoxville area shoppers the opportunity to save on qualifying purchases by skipping the state sales tax.

Whether you're shopping for your kids, heading off to college, or stocking up your business, this weekend can help you stretch your budget a little further. Waht is included:  Most clothing items priced at $100 or less per item qualify, School and art supplies priced at $100 or less per item, Laptops, desktop computers, and tablets priced at $1,500 or less. If you own a small Knoxville business, now is an excellent time to stock up on office essentials before the busy fall season. Popular items tend to sell out quickly during Tax-Free Weekend, so making a shopping list before you head to the store can help you stay organized and make the most of the savings.

Happy Shopping and hope you find some fantastic deals this Knoxville Tax Free Weekend
