NC Sales Tax Holiday

 

SALES TAX HOLIDAY ON ENERGY STAR APPLIANCES

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 6 through SUNDAY NOVEMBER 8, 2009

 

Appliance stores hope the state's second annual sales tax holiday on Energy Star appliances this weekend will help stimulate business.

To increase the chances of that happening, many retailers are extending hours and offering additional discounts on top of the tax savings to try to entice shoppers to buy.

The tax holiday,  works much like the school supplies sales tax holiday North Carolina holds each August, except that now it's Energy Star-rated appliances that are exempt from the tax.

In Catawba County, where the combined sales tax rate is 8 percent, a consumer would save $40 in taxes on a $500 appliance.

Savings are likely to be greater than that, as appliance dealers hold promotions and sales in conjunction with the sales tax holiday.

Lowe's Home Improvement stores are among major retailers in North Carolina offering discounts on appliances this weekend.

 


NC Sales Tax Holiday

Items included in the tax holiday are products that meet the Energy Star requirements and are authorized to carry the Energy Star label, including clothes washers, freezers, refrigerators, central air conditioners, room air conditioners, air source heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps, ceiling fans, dehumidifiers and programmable thermostats.

While dishwashers are not included, some dealers will discount Energy Star-rated models this weekend.
There is no price limit or ceiling for products to qualify.

Items purchased for use in a business do not qualify for tax exemption.

 


Energy Star-qualified products use up to 50 percent less energy than older models or less-efficient counterparts currently on the market.
