This tax holiday applied earlier this year but has NOT yet been approved by the Missouri Legislature for 2025. As soon as I receive further information, this page will be updated. Be sure to check back often!
Don’t miss this year’s Missouri Show Me Green (Energy Star) Sales Tax Holiday when shopping for appliances. This annual tax free event takes place over 7 days:
Friday, April 19
Saturday, April 20
Sunday, April 21
Monday, April 22
Tuesday, April 23
Wednesday, April 24
Thursday, April 25
On these dates, sales of qualifying Energy Star certified new appliances up to $1,500 will be exempt from Missouri state sales tax. If the purchase price is over $1,500, the first $1,500 is exempt from state sales tax and the remaining amount over $1,500 is taxable at the full rate. Local jurisdictions (cities and counties) can choose to participate in the Show Me Green Sales Tax Holiday. All items MUST be ENERGY STAR labeled:
– Clothes washers
– Clothes dryers
– Water heaters
– Dishwashers
– Air conditioners
– Furnaces
– Refrigerators
– Freezers
– Heat pumps
These items DO NOT qualify, even if ENERGY STAR compliant:
– Air filtration systems
– Bread machines
– Camping stoves
– Coffee makers
– Conventional ovens*
– Convection ovens*
– Cook-tops*
– Deep fryers
– De-humidifiers
– Hot food holding cabinets
– Humidifiers
– Ice makers
– Microwave ovens
– Popcorn makers
– Ranges*
– Reflector ovens
– Steam cookers
– Stoves*
– Trash compactors*
– Warming drawers
– Water softeners
– Wine coolers
*According to the Energy Star website, trash compactors, conventional ovens, ranges and stoves do not receive an Energy Star rating. Therefore, although Missouri statute anticipates that some day they may receive the energy star rating, tax will continue to apply to purchases of these items during the upcoming Show Me Green Sales Tax Holiday.
Be sure to take advantage of the Missouri Show Me Green Energy Star Sales Tax Holiday: April 19-25, 2024.
