Tax Break for Texas!

Share |

Since Latemodel Restoration Supply is located in central Texas, we always hear from our customers about how great our service is, and how fast our shipping is to the Lone Star State!  Shipping is to Texas is next-day in most cases!  This blog, however, is not about shipping.  This time, it's about taxes.  Everyone feels that they are Taxed Enough Already, and unfortunately our Texas customers incur the extra burden of state sales tax on their purchases from us.

Every fall, the state of Texas has a Tax Free Weekend where purchases of school supplies and clothing all across the state are not charged sales tax.  Now, obviously, wheel and tire packages or headlights are not school supplies, but students may need those for safety just as well as a sporty new backpack, right?  So in honor of the Texas Tax Free Weekend, LRS will be offering a discount to offset the tax if you live in Texas.  This LRS "Tax Break" will run from August 19-September 6th.

Texans, Enjoy your "Tax Break" by shopping on latemodelrestoration.com! Just add this "part" to your cart!

Details:  We have to charge tax to all Texas residents, it's the law.  So, Texas customers that purchase during the promotional period WILL see a charge for sales tax on their invoice.  We'll be offsetting the sales tax by applying an LRS discount to the pre-tax parts and shipping total.  This LRS discount will be equivalent to the tax that would have been charged on the un-discounted order total.  The purchase, for all practical purposes, is "Tax Free".

Ben, we will adjust the discount here. Our software will not let us eliminate the tax, so we will do it manually when it ships out and you are actually charged.

Been around cars and the car culture my whole life. Built up a 1957 Chevy truck for my first vehicle when I was 14, with a straight 6, split mainfold and 3 one barrel carbs. (It sounded like an angry Cessna!). I have owned a 1997 Camaro, a few trucks, fixed up a wrecked 1995 Mustang convertible and currently drive a 1997 Supercharged Regal GS and the wife drives a 2007 Suburban LTZ. I have a 11 year old girl and an 8 year old girl and a 2 year old girl! I love to play Little Big Planet, Madden football and Singstar on my PS3, golf and just about all sports. Go Mavs, Stars, Rangers and Cowboys!!!
