Sales Tax Free Week

by streadwell August 16, 2010

Sales Tax Free Week

This week, from Aug. 15th through Aug. 21st, is Connecticut’s “Sales Tax Holiday” week.

Connecticut’s 6% sales tax will be eliminated for all clothing and footwear purchases under $300 per item through this Saturday. Since sales tax is calculated after the use of any coupons or discounts, if the final price is less than $300, the sale is exempt from taxes. However, purchases equaling more than $300 will have full sales tax calculated into the cost.
Clothing or footwear under $300 either rented or put on layaway is also tax-free.

For more information, visit the Department of Revenue Services website at www.ct.gov/drs or call my Hartford office at 1-800-842-1423.
