Kansas City, MO, August 2, 2026 —
Missouri shoppers will have an opportunity to save on a variety of items during the state’s annual Tax-Free Weekend. This event, scheduled to run from Friday, August 7th, at midnight, through Sunday, August 9th, at midnight, will exempt consumers from paying state and local sales taxes on eligible purchases.
The tax exemption applies to specific categories of goods, including clothing, school supplies, computers, and diapers. To qualify for the tax-free status, individual items must fall within certain price limits. Clothing items must be priced at less than $100 each, while school supplies are eligible if they cost $50 or less per item.
The initiative aims to provide financial relief to consumers, particularly families preparing for the back-to-school season. The scope of the tax-free period extends to online purchases. Consumers making purchases online for delivery or pickup within Missouri will also benefit from the sales tax exemption.
Residents of neighboring states may also find this event advantageous. Kansas residents, for instance, can take advantage of the tax-free shopping by making their eligible purchases within Missouri.
