With the start of
school just around the corner, I wanted to remind you to take advantage
of the upcoming “Tax Free Week” which runs from Sunday, August 21st through Saturday, August 27th.
This one-week event
eliminates Connecticut’s 6.35 percent sales tax on all clothing and
footwear costing less than $100 per item.
Additionally,
new and used college textbooks are exempt from the 6.35% sales tax for
students who present a valid college ID at the time of purchase.
Since sales tax is
calculated after the use of any coupons or discounts, if the final price
is less than $100, the sale is exempt from taxes. Clothing or footwear
under $100 put on layaway is also tax-free.
Tax Free Week was first enacted in 2000, and applies to most clothing and footwear purchases intended for everyday use.
Goods NOT COVERED under the program include, but are not limited to:
-
Clothing or footwear
specifically designed for athletic activities: football cleats,
specialty boots for fishing, hiking, skiing and other activities, as
well as wet suits, helmets and headbands, etc.
-
Accessories: jewelry, handbags, luggage, umbrellas, wallets, watches, etc.
Sincerely,
Rob Sampson
State Representative - 80th District
