(August 9, 2025) — Connecticut’s sales tax-free week will start on Sunday, August 17, 2025 and continue to Saturday, August 23, 2025. Timed to align with back-to-school and return-to-office late-summer sales, most clothing and footwear valued under $100 sold in the state will be tax-free. The tax-free week will also apply to purchases made from online retailers. Answers to common questions about the sales tax holiday can be found here.
There are exceptions to the tax-free week, including specialized boots, clothes and shoes for athletic and professional purposes, handbags, jewelry, wallets and other accessories and sports helmets and uniforms. To see full lists of what is and is not taxable, click here.
