Iowa's Annual Sales Tax Holiday – August 7 & 8

posted on 7/31/26

Don’t forget Iowa’s Annual Sales Tax Holiday on Friday, August 7 and Saturday, August 8. This annual break from sales tax is the perfect time to save on clothes or shoes before the kids head back to school or even something special for the upcoming holiday season. Not interested in leaving your house? Online sales are included if they are ordered and paid for during the exemption period.

 

In general, select clothing and footwear are tax exempt, meaning no state sales tax will be collected, but there are restrictions. Visit the Sales Tax Holiday page for full details.  


The mission of the Iowa Department of Revenue is to serve Iowans through the
responsible collection and generation of revenue to support the public good.
