“Sales Tax-Free Week may signal the end of summer for school children, but it is a great time of year for shoppers and retailers,” Governor Rell said during an appearance at the Westfarms Mall. “Between end-of-summer sales and back-to-school shopping, Sales Tax-Free Week allows consumers to make the most of their shopping dollars on clothing and footwear purchases.” During Sales Tax-Free Week, individual items of clothing and footwear priced under $300 are exempt from the 6 percent Connecticut sales and use tax. It is an increase over the standard $50 exemption. Sales Tax-Free Week is now in its ninth year. Last year, shoppers saved about $3.8 million. “In this struggling national economy, anything that can help stretch the family budget is especially important,” Governor Rell said. “Shoppers are able to get more for their money and retailers see an increase in business. It is a boost to everyone’s budget, including the state’s economy,” Governor Rell said. “This week in August has become very popular.” More information on Connecticut Sales Tax-Free Week can be found at the Department of Revenue Services Web site: www.ct.gov/drs © Copyright by NorwalkPlus.com.
