Vault Visit | People prep for tax free weekend

On July 31, 2003, people were getting ready for a tax-free weekend.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — WFMY News 2 turns 75 this year and we are opening the News 2 Vault. 

You might remember from 2002 to 2013, North Carolina shoppers enjoyed one weekend of tax-free shopping every year! 

The discount applied to clothes, school supplies, computers and sports equipment. 

State leaders initially decided to help give consumers a break. But state leaders repealed the tax holiday in 2014. They said the state lost too much revenue on tax-free weekends. 

20 states including South Carolina and Virginia still hold tax-free weekend.
