Buyers saved more than $4 million by not paying state and local taxes on their purchases during last year's three-day tax holiday, according to the Taxation and Revenue Department.

No gross receipts tax will be imposed on clothing and some shoes up to $100. Also tax-free are purchases of computers — including laptops — costing $1,000 or less, and some computer hardware of $500 or less, such as printers and monitors.

No tax will be levied on school supplies that cost up to $15 each.
