Love the – tax-free – layover at Texas Airports
Posted on August 15th, 2008 by Harriet Baskas
Several states around the country declare a sales-tax-free weekend at the end of summer. Texas is one of them.
So why not do some back-to-school shopping at the airport?
Today through Sunday (Aug 15-17) travelers stopping at any Texas airport including Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), can buy backpacks, sneakers, dresses, t-shirts, caps, jackets and a variety of clothing accessories without having to pay the regular sales tax on purchases under $100.
At DFW, where the sales tax is usually 8.25%, airport officials point out that it’s a good chance for travelers to get some extra “cowboy bling with less ca-ching.”
