NEW JERSEY (PIX11) – New Jersey has no school supply discount this year.
Gov. Phil Murphy signed a repeal of the annual tax holiday into law without explanation.
In 2022 and 2023, you could buy computers, school supplies and sports equipment during the tax holiday – which meant you didn't have to pay sales tax.
Books and supplies currently cost 1.33% more than what they cost last August.
