Hurricane Preparation Tax Holiday Begins Wednesday

Virginians who want to stock up on batteries, bottled water and other supplies for the hurricane season will get a tax break next week.

Starting Wednesday, May 25, and continuing for seven days, a sales tax holiday will spare them state and local levies for items deemed eligible. They include flashlights, first aid kits and big-ticket items such as generators priced at $1,000 or less.

U.S. government forecasters announced Thursday they expect three to six major hurricanes from an above average Atlantic storm season.

For a full list of products eligible for the sales-tax break, go to http://www.tax.virginia.gov/.
