Texas: Belt Buckle Tax
If you want to be a cowboy, or at least dress like one, there aren’t any extra taxes on cowboy boots, hats or belts during the state’s three-day sales tax holiday. But a belt buckle is another story. In Texas — where they’re quite popular — there’s a 6.25 percent sales tax on belt buckles because they’re not considered clothes. Belt buckles are still taxable during the state’s annual sales tax holiday.
