Given the tax free weekend, what portable generator would you recommend - sized for field day usage. 73MarkK5MGJ ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: ARRL Members Only Web site <[email protected]>To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>Sent: Friday, April 22, 2022, 09:50:02 AM CDTSubject: Emergency Preparation Supplies Sales Tax Holiday The Texas Emergency Preparation Supplies Sales Tax Holiday will occur from Saturday, April 23, 2022 at 12:01 am, CDT, to midnight, Monday, April 25, 2022.
The list of supplies and items that qualify appear on the Texas Comptroller's website at: https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/publications/98-1017.php Unfortunately, the tax holiday does not provide exemption from sales tax on the purchase of radios in excess of $75 in value. Perhaps we can persuade a Texas legislator to sponsor an amendment to the law that would extend the tax exemption to permit the exclusion of sales tax on a broader class of amateur radios and related equipment. If you have been planning to purchase a small generator, note the sales tax exclusion does apply to portable generators that cost less than $3,000.00, permitting — depending on brand and where purchased — the acquisition of generators up to 15,000 watts. Be safe. John Robert Stratton N5AUS Director Lee H.
