Our Legislature has set up at least 2 of those per year, and they can
always do another or more one-offs.
And at that, they aren't 'general' holidays. They only apply to the
State rate, (and maybe not all of it at that) and then only to specific
goods, and then not for written sales, but actual delivered sales
(unless delivery is not available during the holiday due to no fault of
the customer) to deter customers requesting later delivery as a
loophole, but surprisingly, you can *start* a layaway plan during the
holiday at the reduced rate!! Madness, I say, sheer madness. Every
legislator and governor should be forced to do business under their own
rules, even if just for a day. (and then make them try to write software
to 'streamline' their madness)

The reason is that here in the US sales tax is not national. The US is a
federation of states and commonwealths. You would not be surprised if 50
countries had highly different rules about sales tax, whether or not had
one, what rates and what applied to and we were discussing transactions
crossing country boundaries. So why does it seem surprising with our
states.
We haven't even begun to discuss another level of complexity for the
proposed software to deal with. It would also have to be able to be
turned off for each state by date range! That's because it is not at all
unusual for the governor of a state that has sales tax to declare a "tax
holiday" << to boost business >>
