Clothing, Footwear, Computers and School Supplies
July 29 - August 1, 2004
House Bill 1184 is the legislation which continues the implementation of Governor Perdue's plan to provide a combination economic stimulus as well as tax relief for Georgia taxpayers.

The bill provides for a sales tax exemption from both state and local sales taxes for four days July 29 - August 1, 2004 for the back-to-school shopping season. During the sales tax holiday period, a sales tax exemption applies to items of tangible personal property in the following three categories:

Articles of Clothing. The exemption applies to articles of clothing and footwear with a sales price of $100 or less per item. Clothing accessories such as handbags, umbrellas, etc. are not exempt.
Personal Computers. A single $1,500 or less purchase of personal computers and related accessories is exempt. The exemption is granted to computers, Internet modems, printers, speakers, and non-recreational software. If the single purchase exceeds $1,500, the entire transaction is taxable.
General School Supplies. The exemption applies to the purchase of general school supplies with a sales price of $20 or less per item.
