If you live in Virginia, and have been putting off the purchase of a new appliance, clear out the truck and make a path from the front door, because this weekend, Virginia will hold a tax free holiday for Energy Efficient Products. The Sales Tax Holiday begins on Friday, October 10, 2008 and runs through Monday, October 13th, 2008.
The products that qualify for the tax holiday include: compact fluorescent light bulbs, ceiling fans, washing machines, refrigerators and room air conditioners, and water efficient products for the bath. A complete list of the items that are exempt is available at: http://www.tax.virginia.gov/site.cfm?alias=EnergyStarQualifiedProductsHoliday
Not only will you save money on your purchase, but if the item is a replacement, you will immediately see a reduction on your energy usage.
The Governor's office reports that last year Virginians saved approximately $166,000 on taxes during the Energy Efficiency Tax Holiday.
Between the Columbus Weekend sales and the sales tax holiday, this is a great weekend to buy those appliances you have been coveting. So get out there and go shopping!
