Energy Star Sales Tax Holiday
Memorial Day Weekend
May 24 – 26, 2008
During Memorial Day weekend, Texas shoppers get a break from state and local sales and use taxes on purchases of certain energy efficient products. The 2008 Energy Star sales tax holiday begins at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, May 24, and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, May 26 (Memorial Day).
The products qualifying for the exemption are:
air conditioners priced under $6,000 (room and central units)
clothes washers (but not clothes dryers*)
ceiling fans
dehumidifiers
dishwashers
light bulbs (incandescent and fluorescent)
programmable thermostats
refrigerators priced under $2,000.
* Because most dryers use similar amounts of energy, Energy Star does not label clothes dryers.
