Sales Tax-Free Week Begins August 15th

Posted on August 13, 2021

With school less than two weeks away for some students, I want to remind you to take advantage of the upcoming “Tax Free Week” which runs from Sunday, August 15 through Saturday, August 21.

This one-week event eliminates Connecticut’s 6.35 percent sales tax on clothing and footwear costing less than $100 per item. Since sales tax is calculated after the use of any coupons or discounts, if the final price per item is less than $100, the sale is exempt from taxes.

Please consult with your local retailer, or contact the Department of Revenue Services for a list of qualifying and non-qualifying items.

OLR’s ‘Issues Affecting’ Reports…

Every year the Office of Legislative Research (OLR), the non-partisan research agency utilized by the Connecticut General Assembly, produces reports on notable legislation that passed during the legislative session.

These reports range from a variety of topics, including:

  • Acts Affecting Taxes (read)
