Given the tax free weekend, what portable generator would you recommend - sized for field day usage.

The Texas Emergency Preparation Supplies Sales Tax Holiday will occur

from Saturday, April 23, 2022 at 12:01 am, CDT, to midnight, Monday,

April 25, 2022.

 

    The list of supplies and items that qualify appear on the Texas

Comptroller's website at: 

https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/publications/98-1017.php

 

    Unfortunately, the tax holiday does not provide exemption from

sales tax on the purchase of radios in excess of $75 in value. Perhaps

we can persuade a Texas legislator to sponsor an amendment to the law

that would extend the tax exemption to permit the exclusion of sales tax

on a broader class of amateur radios and related equipment.

 

    If you have been planning to purchase a small generator, note the

sales tax exclusion does apply to portable generators that cost less

than $3,000.00, permitting — depending on brand and where purchased

— the acquisition of generators up to 15,000 watts.

 

    Be safe.
