Is the Energy Star Sales Tax Holiday the same as the Energy Star Income Tax Deduction?
No. The Energy Star Income Tax Deduction allows for a deduction equal to 20% of the retail sales and use tax paid in purchasing for one’s personal use, certain Energy Star qualified products. This deduction is completely separate and distinguished from the Energy Star Sales Tax Holiday. None of the rules that are listed in the Energy Star Sales Tax Holiday Guidelines will apply to the Energy Star Income Tax Deduction, nor will the rules governing the income tax deduction apply during the Energy Star Holiday.
