Shoppers pay no sales tax on energy-efficient products this weekend | Local & State | Macon.com

For the second year in a row, consumers can get a break on sales taxes if they buy energy- or water-efficient products this weekend.

The break was built into a tax reform bill that the Georgia General Assembly passed last year. No sales tax will be charged for qualifying purchases of energy-efficient products from Oct. 4-6.

While the savings may not be enough to prompt people to upgrade their appliances, those currently in the market will benefit from the state incentive.

The Georgia Environmental Finance Authority website and Facebook page promote the sales tax holiday, while Georgia Power customers received fliers with their energy bill.
