Tax break on energy efficient appliances
As mentioned by my colleague Morgan Josey Glover at her blog Green Notes, North Carolinians who planned to upgrade to an energy efficient appliance can get a break from the state sales tax by scheduling the purchase this weekend.
State legislators last year established a sales tax holiday on the first Friday-Sunday of November for certain Energy Star appliances.
Clothes washers, freezers, refrigerators, central air conditioners, room air conditioners, air-source heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps, ceiling fans, dehumidifiers and programmable thermostats will be exempt from state and local taxes during the holiday provided they carry the Energy Star label.
