How can I override sales tax for back to school weekend in Alabama?

Topic summary

Alabama back-to-school tax holiday: merchants want to remove sales tax on eligible items for the weekend only.

Proposed setup:

  • Create a collection of eligible products, then in Settings > Taxes > Manage (United States), add a 0% tax override for Alabama applied to that collection.
  • Alternatively, mark individual products as tax-exempt by unchecking “charge tax on this product” (applies to all locations).
  • Changes are manual; remember to revert after the holiday.

Issues reported:

  • Even with the collection override, an extra $0.28 tax still appeared on an order; a peer suggested this may be shipping tax and noted there are override options for shipping and products.
  • Another merchant saw the 0% collection override seemingly affect items not in the collection: a non-apparel item was charged only 4% (county tax), indicating the state portion wasn’t applied.

Status:

  • No confirmed fix yet for residual shipping tax or unintended impact on non-collection items.
  • Links and screenshots were provided for setup guidance. Discussion remains open/ongoing.

Not an easy situation. but there already from above in the comments helped you. Therefore, I would advise you to read more books. The last thing I read was copper-sun on platform. The book is quite interesting. But where am I going to read books about taxes, etc. believe it will help in life.
