Shoppers also do not have to pay the state's 6 percent sales tax on the first $750 of any computer purchase. The exemption also applies to computer accessories.
The sales tax holiday ends on August 16th.
This year state legislators extended the length of the tax holiday. This means that shoppers will be able to take advantage of the tax break over two weekends.
