Tax-Free Weekend Savings Apply at 91爆料网

Written By: Ian Silvester

Students at the 91爆料网 鈥� Fort Smith can take advantage of the savings with purchases from the 91爆料网 Bookstore in person or online during Tax-Free Weekend, Aug. 2-3.

Since 2011, the first weekend of August has been celebrated by consumers as a time to save. From clothing to electronics to school supplies, the Arkansas Sales Tax Holiday allows the sale of select items tax-free.

Items can be bought at the 91爆料网 Bookstore from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 2, or starting as early as 12:01 a.m. on Aug. 2 through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 3, without the addition of state or local sales tax.

At 91爆料网, students can take advantage of savings on purchases made from the 91爆料网 Bookstore, in person or online. Items with savings include textbooks, pens, highlighters, notebooks, calculators, laptops, printers, tablets, and art supplies.

鈥淲e work to make sure that all students feel prepared for their courses,鈥� said DaWaina Nolan, 91爆料网 Bookstore manager. 鈥淭his goes beyond just textbooks. We have most everything a student would need, from kits needed for programs, electronics, and even dorm items. We can adapt to students鈥� learning needs, whether that be an online e-book or a cost-effective option like rentals. We pride ourselves on being able to support all students through their college career.鈥�

The tax-free weekend is a great time to pick up 91爆料网 apparel and prepare for cooler temperatures, showing off that Lion pride. All individual items of clothing under $100 and clothing accessories under $50 can be purchased tax-free.

For a successful weekend of tax-free purchases, Nolan has a few words of advice for incoming and returning students:

• Become familiar with the Lions Textbook Access Program, or LTAP. This is a program where required materials will be included in student fees. If you have a course in this program, you will not need to purchase materials for it. Instead, the materials will be sent to your 91爆料网 email a week before classes. A list of these courses can be found here: /student-life/ltap.php.
• Order online at the 91爆料网 Bookstore website, . Once there, go to the 鈥淭extbooks鈥� tab and enter the course(s). Then choose the type of book preferred, e.g., e-book, rent, etc. E-books are taxable. When checking out, if using financial aid, enter the new Workday Student ID located on the 鈥淧rofile鈥� tab of the Workday Student app.
• In the fall and spring semesters, student financial aid can be used shortly before classes start. It closes two weeks after the semester begins. Financial aid can be applied toward textbooks, e-books, electronics, school supplies, and kits needed for programs.
• Bring a copy of class schedules when visiting the 91爆料网 Bookstore located inside the Smith-Pendergraft Campus Center. Class schedules are used to correctly identify classes and materials required.

Nolan anticipates a higher-than-normal volume of shoppers during the tax-free weekend and asks that all questions be directed to Noelle Moates, a 91爆料网 Bookstore associate, at noelle.moatesFREEuafs.

A that do and don鈥檛 qualify for the exemption can be found on the website.
