Taxes, Sales - As introduced, exempts books from sales tax on the annual sales tax holiday. - Amends TCA Title 67, Chapter 6.
HB 2433 exempts books priced at $100 or less per item from Tennessee's annual sales tax holiday, directly affecting consumers purchasing affordable books (including textbooks and workbooks) and retailers selling them. The bill amends Tennessee's tax code to add "books under $100" to the list of exempt items during the tax holiday, while clarifying that newspapers, magazines, and periodicals remain taxable. It also updates definitions to specify that "books" include nonfiction, fiction, and educational materials but exclude periodicals. The changes take effect July 1, 2026, if passed.
