Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
New Mexico students are getting ready to go back to school. But first they’re getting ready to go shopping for back-to-school supplies.
And this weekend, those back-to-school purchases will be tax free.
This Friday, Saturday and Sunday will mark the fourth year for the tax holiday. Gov. Bill Richardson said in a press release that businesses throughout the state will be participating.
Clovis Municipal Schools begin classes Aug. 13 for grades 1-12 and Aug. 18 for Kindergarten.
Portales Municipal Schools begin classes Aug. 18 for grades 2-12 and Aug. 25 for kindergarten and first grade.
Here are a few nontaxable items:
• Belts
• Raincoats
• Sleepwear
• Calculators
• Daily planners
• Pencils and pens
