Connecticut Sales Tax Holiday Free Weekend

March 18, 2024

This tax holiday applied last year but has NOT yet been approved by the Connecticut Legislature for 2024. As soon as I receive further information, this page will be updated. Be sure to check back often!

Don’t miss this year’s Connecticut Sales Tax Holiday when doing your back-to-school shopping. Unlike most states where the tax free weekend lasts only a few days, Connecticut’s tax holiday continues for an entire week:

Sunday, August 20
Monday, August 21
Tuesday, August 22
Wednesday, August 23
Thursday, August 24
Friday, August 25
Saturday, August 26

On these dates, you can purchase these items free of Connecticut state sales tax:

– Clothing and footwear priced at $100 or less per item. Excludes clothing accessories and protective or athletic clothing.

Many stores will be having special back to school sales on eligible items in conjunction with the sales tax holiday. Walmart, Target, Belk, Neiman Marcus, Famous Footwear, Dillard’s, Sears, JCPenney, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Marshalls have frequent tax free weekend sales and back to school tax holiday promotions.

Be sure to take advantage of the Connecticut Sales Tax Holiday and back-to-school tax free weekend: August 20-26, 2023.
