University of Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµAPP – Fort Smith students, faculty and alumni will enjoy a break from sales taxes the weekend of Aug. 5-6 when the university's bookstore will participate in Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµAPP’ Tax Free Holiday.

 

Beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, August 5, and ending at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, August 6, the annual sales tax holiday allows shoppers the opportunity to shop for important school purchases tax free. Shoppers can purchase UAFS clothing that is less than $100 per item, textbooks, certain school supplies, art supplies, and instructional materials. Financial aid will be available for students to use during the tax-free weekend, pending its prior approval.

 

“The UAFS Lions Bookstore is excited to participate in Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµAPP’ annual tax free weekend,â€� said Amy Baker, bookstore manager. “The Tax Free Holiday weekend is an excellent opportunity for students, faculty, parents and alumni to appreciate significant savings on their back-to-school supplies. We also want the UAFS community to know that the tax-free weekend also applies to all online orders that are made during the eligible time period – making it even more convenient for our customers to shop and save.â€�
