Sales tax holidays are coming up for surrounding states, but not for Kansas.

 

As families gear up for the return to school, those shopping in Oklahoma and Missouri will once again be able to take advantage of sales tax holidays, but state Senator Virgil Peck says Kansas residents won't be able to get those savings at home.

 

Efforts this past term got further than they have in the past, but Peck says it wasn't close enough.

 

The sales tax holidays in Missouri and Kansas are this Friday through Sunday. In Oklahoma and Missouri, tax exemptions apply to qualifying clothing and footwear under $100 per item. Also in Missouri only, school supplies up to $50, computer software up to $350 and computer accessories up to $1,500 are included in the holiday.
