Grocery Tax Holiday has started, and most groceries in Tennessee are exempt from sales tax.
The Grocery Holiday is a part of the Tennessee Works Tax Act
The law was passed this year and created a Grocery holiday across the state. It approved over $400 million in federal tax cuts. The experts expect a rise in the price of food items in August, so the Tax Holiday is timely for consumers.
