NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — Shoppers in Connecticut can save money by taking advantage of the sales tax-free week on select items ahead of the 2023-24 school year.

The state’s 23rd annual sales tax-free week started on Sunday, Aug. 20, and ends Saturday, Aug. 26.

The statewide sales tax is 6.35% for the retail sale, lease, or rental of most goods and taxable services.

Several kinds of clothing and types of footwear are sales tax-free when sold for less than $100.
