Georgia's 2011 Tax Free Week

Take Advantage of a Sales Tax Holiday in a State Near Georgia

By , About.com Guide

Georgia's tax free week used to be an annual event. However, legislators have not passed the bills necessary to reinstate the sales tax holiday since 2009. If the policy does in fact change for 2011, this page will be updated to reflect that information.

Meanwhile, shoppers who wish to take advantage of a sales tax holiday should consider driving to a nearby state, such as Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina or Tennessee.

Keep in mind, too, that there are many ways to save on your kids' back-to-school shopping needs. Try shopping at thrift stores, using coupons, and taking advantage of the many end-of-summer sales available to shoppers in August.
