Highlights:

• This year will be Connecticut’s 21^st Sales Tax Free Week.
• According to state statute, Sales Tax Free Week begins on the third Sunday of August and runs until the following Saturday.
• 2021 Sales Tax Free Week dates are Sunday, August 15, through Saturday, August 21, 2021.

This one-week event eliminates Connecticut’s 6.35% sales tax on clothing and footwear costing less than $100 per item.

Since sales tax is calculated after the use of any coupons or discounts, if the final price per item is less than $100, the sale is exempt from taxes.
