West Virginia Sales Tax Holiday Free Weekend

March 17, 2024

This tax holiday applied last year but has NOT yet been approved by the West Virginia Legislature for 2024. As soon as I receive further information, this page will be updated. Be sure to check back often!

Don’t miss this year’s West Virginia Sales Tax Holiday when doing your back-to-school shopping. The tax free weekend takes place over 4 days:

On these dates, you can purchase these items free of West Virginia state sales tax:
