I would buy a used car. That way, this piece-of-shit state can't rob you of a 6.25% tax on the KBB value of the car. Why the hell do they get a cut? The government had ZERO part in the transaction!
Larger businesses will just tell their IT department to make it happen on that days download when they open. Smaller ones will just hit a tax on/off toggle switch like they do when someone buys something tax exempt that is not programmed to their system, or if they have a tax exempt certificate.
Much better solution is to eliminate the tax and reduce the state budget accordingly.
$43,000,000,000. Really? We need to spend that much?
Not going to happen, even if we vote it out, they will override that because we don't really know what is good for the state after all.
If Massachusetts residents were smaht, they'd boycott this precious gift from their overlords and tell them to shove it that day. Then drive to NH and buy their shit.
But they won't.
IIRC, cell phones aren't exempt. So make a trip to NH instead.Have my eye on a used gun. Which I need like a hole in the head. My wife is looking to update her iPhone at the Apple Store in Braintree. It will be agony. If I go with her I get a cocktail and lunch at Davios. Not sure it's worth it though.

Unsure how the state classifies buying a cell phone. Worth checking with the Apple store in that case.Thought it was services, but I'm no expert.
"The following do not qualify for the sales tax holiday exemption: all motor vehicles, motorboats, meals, telecommunications services, gas, steam, electricity, tobacco products and any single item whose price is in excess of $2,500."
Sales Tax HolidayIIRC, cell phones aren't exempt. So make a trip to NH instead.
Same here. We buy the bulk of our taxable goods in NH, including all firearms, ammo and accessories. We make it a complete day out as a family, including a nice dinner.Why participate in the scraps the the socialists throw to us in in MA when every day is a sales tax holiday in NH? In addition there will be hordes pushing and shoving to get the sales tax discount in MA making it a hassle compared to NH.
Any item over $2500 is exempt from any tax waiver!!!
My plan is to stay the hell out of stores....The sheeple will be a swarming for their penance. I can buy tax free whenever I want online...
Unlike last year EBay and Amazon aren't charging Mass tax this weekend as far as I can tell.
