Here's a stupid question, Massachusetts residents: Who doesn't love a tax-free weekend? I mean, c'mon! Huge savings on plenty of personal retail items by not having to pay that 6.25% sales tax? You can't beat it!

Plenty of folks I know that have some big items on their wish lists to purchase will wait months for tax-free weekend to roll around just to take advantage of those two days of savings. Why wouldn't you, right?

Finally, the Massachusetts State Legislature decided which weekend it would fall on for 2024. Mark those calendars! Tax-free weekend will fall on Saturday and Sunday, August 10th and 11th.

That means that most retail items of up to $2,500, purchased for personal use on those two days, will be exempt from the state's 6.25% sales tax. This exemption only applies to items bought for personal use by residents.
