Bill > HF714

This bill establishes a seven-day sales tax holiday in Minnesota from July 31 at 12:01 a.m. to August 6 at 11:59 p.m., during which certain school-related items will be exempt from sales tax. Specifically, the tax exemption applies to book bags priced at $60 or less and school supplies priced at $15 or less per item. The bill provides an extensive list of qualifying school supplies, which includes common items such as binders, calculators, notebooks, pencils, pens, rulers, scissors, and many other educational materials typically used by students. The tax holiday is designed to help families save money on back-to-school purchases by temporarily removing sales tax on these essential items. The provision will become effective for sales and purchases made after June 30, 2025, giving retailers and consumers advance notice of the upcoming tax holiday.
