JEFFERSON CITY (July 31, 2024) – Ahead of the Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday, NFIB Missouri is encouraging consumers to shop small. The sales tax holiday, which begins on Friday, August 2, and runs through the weekend, is a great opportunity to support local businesses.

“Shopping at your local mom-and-pop keeps more hard-earned dollars within your community,” NFIB State Director Brad Jones said. “Main Street is the backbone of our economy, creating good-paying jobs for our friends and family. As frequent donors to charity and sponsors of Little League teams, small business owners keep our communities vibrant and growing. We hope that Missourians will turn to their small businesses for their back-to-school supplies during this sales tax holiday.”

Background:

According to the Missouri Department of Revenue, the 2024 Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday begins at 12:01 AM CT on Friday, August 2, and runs through Sunday, August 4.
