The annual sales tax holiday exempts most clothing and footwear under $100 from the 6.35% Connecticut sales tax. There is no limit to the number of items that can be purchased, as long as each item individually costs less than $100. 

We encourage all residents to take advantage of the extra savings as you get the kids ready to go back to school. It's also a great way to show some extra support your local small businesses.

Here's more information on Sales Tax-Free Week, including specific items that are tax-exempt and those specialty items that are not.

The first state sales tax free week was back in 2000, making this the 25^th anniversary. You can read more about Connecticut's Sales Tax-Free week in this article from the Hartford Business Journal.
