tax holiday

tax holiday　免税期　

A temporary period during which time the government removes certain taxes（usually sales tax）on certain items in order to encourage the consumption or purchase of these items.The most common application of this is a tax-free weekend，which most states hold shortly before school begins in the fall during which time sales tax is removed on clothing，school supplies，and/or other similar items.Not all areas engage in tax holidays，it is up to the government of that area.
