Anything from a little break to a big reduction in state sales tax awaits those who shop for back-to-school supplies, electronics, appliances and most other retail purchases Friday and Saturday.

The 2017 Louisiana Annual Sales Tax Holiday has the attention of at least a few potential buyers who want a hand-held GPS from Magic Video on South Lewis Street and for any shoppers who plan to either buy or layaway appliances at places like A & A Appliance Center on East St. Peter Street.

People will pay three percent state sales tax instead of five percent during the two-day holiday. The exemption covers $2,500 of the price on each eligible item.
