Tennessee One Year Sales Tax Holiday on Gun Safety Devices Begins

Effective from July 1, 2021 until June 30, 2022, Tennessee will have a sales tax holiday exempting retail sales of gun safes and gun safety devices from tax. A gun safe is defined as a locking container or other enclosure equipped with a padlock, key lock, combination lock, or other locking device that is designed and intended for the secure storage of one or more firearms. A “gun safety device” is defined as any integral device to be equipped or installed on a firearm that permits the user to program the firearm to operate only for specified persons designated by the user through computerized locking devices or other means integral to and permanently part of the firearm.
