Sales tax holidays are on the horizon in select U.S. states, and prospective buyers might be surprised to learn that some Apple products are receiving tax-exempt status during the holiday — but eligible products vary by state. There are rarely discounts on the company's products when they are purchased directly from Apple's retail stores — either in-person or online — but there are other ways that buyers can receive offers and sales. The most common offer that Apple provides buyers comes in the form of a gift card. During the company's Black Friday sales, a gift card comes with an eligible purchase rather than a standard discount on the regular retail price. In addition to short offers like this, a tax holiday is a good way to save money when purchasing Apple products.
The sales tax holiday coincides with a currently-running Apple promotion for students: the annual back-to-school sale. Though it has changed in form over the years, Apple's back-to-school sale has been a summer staple, making purchasing a MacBook or iPad for school a better value. For this year's sale, students and educators can save over a hundred dollars, depending on the item, on an iPad or MacBook. Additionally, the usual AirPods or Beats offer is ditched for an Apple gift card free of charge. With the purchase of an iPad, buyers will get a $100 Apple gift card, while Mac buyers will receive a $150 Apple gift card. For students in select states during the tax holiday, this offer can also be paired with a sales tax exemption, further lowering the purchase price.
