New Haven Mayor Promotes Local Shopping for Sales Tax-Free Week

From the City of New Haven:

Mayor Harp today encouraged families throughout the region to take advantage of the state’s annual Sales Tax-Free Week (Sunday, August 21 – Saturday, August 27) and shop in New Haven for back-to- school purchases.

Each year during Sales Tax-Free Week, sales tax is waived on most individual clothing and footwear items priced under $100. There’s no limit on how many items consumers can buy, as long as each individual item is less than $100.

“New Haven is proud to host some of the region’s most popular merchants, from one-of- a-kind boutiques and shops to top national retailers,” Mayor Harp said. “Sales Tax-Free Week helps families save money and prepare for the school year. I encourage all those with proximity to New Haven to shop locally, keep their money circulating locally, and explore all of what New Haven has to offer right here in the local marketplace.
