Alabama will hold its 19th annual back-to-school sales tax holiday, beginning Friday, July 19 at 12:01 a.m. and ending Sunday, July 21 at midnight. Both the City of Scottsboro and Jackson County will participate in the tax-free weekend, allowing shoppers to purchase certain school supplies, computers, and clothing free of state sales tax. Local sales tax may still apply. All retailers are required to participate and may not charge tax on items that are legally declared exempt during the Sales Tax Holiday.
