KOSCIUSKO — The City of Kosciusko is just one of many municipalities participating in the annual Sales Tax Holiday.

The annual STH begins12:01 a.m. Friday, July 27, and ends midnight Saturday, July 28.

The items exempt from sales tax during the Sales Tax Holiday are identical to those items exempt in prior years.

Clothing and footwear items, meant to be worn next to the body and cost less than $100 per item, are exempt from sales tax during this period.

Accessories such as jewelry, handbags, wallets, watches, backpacks, and similar items do not qualify for the Sales Tax Holiday.

Cleats and items worn in conjunction with an athletic or recreational activity or other sample items are not eligible.

School supplies and computers are not included.

A listing of eligible and non-eligible clothing and footwear items can be found at http://www.dor.ms.gov/docs/SalesTaxHoliday2012.pdf.

The following municipalities are suspending the Sales Tax Holiday within their corporate limits and will not participate this year: Crenshaw, Enterprise, and Heidelberg.

All retail businesses within the corporate limits of the municipality not participating must charge and remit to the state sales tax on all sales that would normally be exempt under the Sales Tax Holiday.
