1 Since sales tax is a "transaction tax," and since the law did not exempt computer parts (only computers), then the
sale of a computer monitor, keyboard, or scanner by itself would not be exempt during the sales tax holiday. If a
monitor, keyboard or scanner is purchased as part of a package which included the computer processing unit (CPU),
then that is one transaction to purchase a computer and the sale of the packaged unit (CPU, monitor, keyboard,
scanner) would be exempt.
