Families can now buy tax-free groceries in Tennessee, thanks to a provision in the Tennessee Works Tax Act. The three-month grocery tax holiday runs through October 2023. Families are expected to save an average of $100 during this time, according to information provided on the Tennessee Department of Revenue (DOR) website.

“In Tennessee, we cut taxes any chance we get because families should keep more of their own hard-earned dollars,” said Gov. Bill Lee when announcing the tax holiday.
