DALLAS – Military families can score double the savings on back-to-school essentials when shopping at the Army & Air Force Exchange Service during their state’s sales tax holiday.
Every day is a sales tax holiday at the PX and BX. During states’ tax-free holidays for back-to-school season, the Department of Defense’s largest retailer gives military shoppers an even bigger reason to use their Exchange benefit—an added discount equal to their local sales tax rate.
“As military kids gear up for a new school year, the Exchange is all in to support their success with military-exclusive savings,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Osby, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor. “The tax-free holiday bonus discount gives families added value on items their students need without breaking their budgets.”
Shoppers in 17 states can participate in the deal at PXs and BXs during their tax-free weekend. State sales tax holidays begin July 21-23 in Alabama. Shoppers can check for their state’s participation, dates and eligible items at www.taxadmin.org/2022-sales-tax-holiday. Exchange discounts are valid in stores only.
Disabled Veterans and Department of Defense civilians with Common Access Card can shop too. Veterans can find out more at https://aafes.media/vets. DoD civilians learn more at https://aafes.media/cacbenefits.
Military shoppers give back to military installations when shopping the Exchange. 100% of Exchange earnings are re-invested in the military community, including support for on-installation Quality-of-Life programs. In the last 10 years, the Exchange has contributed $3.5 billion to these critical programs.
