Dept Of Revenue release (edit)
07/24/25
Iowa’s Annual Sales Tax Holiday is coming next weekend.
The state Department of Revenue says the holiday is in effect on Friday, August 1 and Saturday, August 2. The annual break from sales tax is the perfect time to save on clothes or shoes before the kids head back to school or even something special for the upcoming holiday season.
Online sales are included if they are ordered and paid for during the exemption period.
In general, select clothing and footwear are tax exempt, meaning no state sales tax will be collected, but there are restrictions. The Sales Tax Holiday page has full details.
