Encouraging States to establish "Veterans Tax Relief Weekends" that coincide with Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day, providing a practical way for communities across the country to recognize the service of veterans and members of the Armed Forces by providing financial relief to them.

Sponsored By: Representative Collins, Mike [R-GA-10]

Introduced

Summary

Three-day sales tax holidays for veterans and military families would be encouraged to coincide with Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day. The resolution urges states to offer short windows of relief from state sales taxes on consumer purchases for eligible veterans and service members.

Show full summary
  • Veterans and military families would get temporary relief from state sales taxes during those three-day holidays. About 18 million veterans live in the U.S.
  • Participation would be voluntary and preserve state authority over tax policy. States already use sales tax holidays for back-to-school and disaster-preparation purchases.
  • Communities would get a practical way to recognize service by pairing local observances with financial relief for veterans and military households.

*Would not require new federal spending.*
