NEW MEXICO RESIDENTS ARE AGAIN GETTING A TAX BREAK ON BACK-TO SCHOOL ITEMS. THE 11TH ANNUAL TAX HOLIDAY KICKS IN FRIDAY AT ONE MINUTE AFTER MIDNIGHT AND CONTINUES THROUGH SUNDAY.
THE TAX HOLIDAY ELIMINATES THE SALES TAX ON CERTAIN ITEMS. CONSUMERS CAN SAVE AROUND 7 PERCENT ON SCHOOL SUPPLIES, CLOTHING AND SHOES THAT COST LESS THAN 100 DOLLARS, COMPUTERS COSTING UP TO A THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND ACCESSORIES PRICED AT 500 DOLLARS OR LESS.
THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THAT MANY STORES ARE OFFERING ADDITIONAL DISCOUNTS AND SOME ARE EXTENDING THEIR HOURS.
