CT Tax-Free Week

A Great Time For Back-To-School Shopping!

It pays to plan ahead!

Connecticut offers a tax-free week starting Sunday and ending on Saturday, for clothing and footwear that's under $300 per item. That’s a 6.35 percent savings on each item!

Need to do some school shopping? Need new shoes? Time to upgrade your family’s fall and winter wardrobe?

Now is the time! How much will you save this year?

Helpful hint: Don’t forget to comparison shop, look for sales, and use coupons! And don’t buy items simply because it’s tax-free week. Even though you will save on the sales and use taxes for this week, you may be able to find better deals another time. Shop smart!
