A four-day sales tax holiday beginning this week aims to help families save money during back-to-school shopping.
Gov. Jim Justice announced Monday that the state would drop its sales tax on certain school-related purchases from Aug. 2 to Aug. 5, part of an annual tradition also implemented in neighboring states like Virginia and Tennessee.
With some restrictions, the following purchases are exempt from the state’s sales and use tax during the holiday:

Justice’s office said Monday the average customer will save 6 to 7 percent on every qualified purchase.
For more information and a full list of qualifying purchases, residents can visit the West Virginia Tax Division website.
