Rochelle reminds residents of state's sales tax free week

Connecticut 2021 Sales Tax Free Week is happening now through Aug. 21. 

This is a great opportunity to save while preparing the kids for going back to school. 

During this one-week sales tax holiday, retail purchases of most clothing and footwear items priced under $100 are exempt from the Connecticut sales and use tax. 

The exemption during Sales Tax Free Week applies to each eligible item costing under $100, regardless of how many of those items are sold to a customer on the same invoice.

Many retailers in Connecticut offer additional clothing and footwear discounts during Sales Tax Free Week, resulting in even more savings for shoppers.
 
Specific information on Connecticut’s Sales Tax Free Week, including a listing of individual items that are exempt or taxable, can be found by visiting the Department of Revenue Services website.

This is a press release from state Rep. Kara Rochelle, D-Ansonia/Derby.
