 Buy water and energy efficient products this weekend and you will not pay Georgia state sales tax on these products. Justin Cave, host of HGTV’s Groundbreakers, talked to Southeast Green yesterday about this tax incentive and explained why it is important. “The message is certainly going out statewide to let people know. It’s all about education on these savings.” By making an investment in water and energy efficient products this weekend, people will see not only the tax savings, but will also realize the savings in utility bills for months to come. “This tax holiday is about spending now for saving in the future”, Cave said. So, if your shopping for appliances or electronics this weekend, look for the Energy Star label. Products with the Energy Star label are eligible for tax exempt status.
