Connecticut’s Sales Tax-Free Week begins on Aug. 20

Connecticut’s Sales Tax-Free Week will take place from Aug. 20 through Aug. 26.

Now in its 23rd edition, the Sales Tax Free Week provides consumers to skip the sales tax when they buy clothing and footwear priced at less than $100. The tax exclusion applies to each item sold, rather than the total sum of multiple-item transaction.

The tax exemption applied to clothing and footwear purchased in a store, by mail, phone or online. If an item is not in stock during the week but becomes available afterward, the tax exemption does not carry over beyond the weeklong promotion.
