Yes, it's for school supplies so kids' clothing, stationery, that sort of thing. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to anything else.

Its very useful if you are buying your children new trainers as they are included. It also works for my wife who has small feet and fits the childrens sizes.

One thing we have noticed in previous years is to make sure they give it to you, as sometimes they 'forget' because of the accent.

This government here wouldn't give you any such kind of break, even though parents could do with it!

But in the US they have to buy everything for school, the school supplies nothing.

Paul's right. In the UK you already get the break. Here we have to buy the kid's paper and pencils. My 14 year old takes band. We have to rent/buy the instruments. My 12 year old plays tennis. We buy the equipment.
The tax free week comes in very handy.

Aren't children's clothes, shoes, etc already VAT free year round in the UK?

I noticed that adult sizes in some shops were tax free as well. Kids don't wear uniform in the US and some kids are big so adult sizes were tax free too especially trainers. Also computers, software and books. Tax free week is up to 31st July.

Will keep this in mind for future reference, we usually stock up on trainers and kids (teens) clothes. As Adeline mentioned many of the American kids are in bigger sizes than us so I too could be in for a bargain. Not this year though, we don't go out until 6th August, I hope the shops have stocked back up!
