Carpino: Reminder Tax Free Week August 18th-24th

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

We want to remind you to take advantage of the upcoming “Tax Free Week.” From Sunday, August 18 to Saturday, August 24, Connecticut residents will not incur sales taxes for purchases of clothing and footwear under $300.

In these tough economic times, every little bit of relief helps. Fortunately, Connecticut shoppers will again be offered tax free shopping for one week this year, just in time for the busy ‘back to school’ season.

Tax Free Week was first enacted in 2000, and applies to most clothing and footwear purchases that are intended for everyday use. Goods not covered under the program include items that are solely intended for use in sporting activities and accessories such as jewelry, watches, handbags, and wallets. By law, Tax Free Week is to run from the third Sunday in August to the following Saturday.

For more information go to the Department of Revenue Services website: http://www.ct.gov/drs

Best Regards,

Christie
