Connecticut’s 2025 Sales Tax-Free Week Details Released: Here's When, What You Need To Know

CONNECTICUT — Connecticut will hold its annual Sales Tax-Free Week from Aug. 17 through Aug. 23, Gov. Ned Lamont announced Monday.

During the weeklong event, most clothing and footwear items priced under $100 will be exempt from the state sales tax. The exemption applies to each eligible item, regardless of how many are purchased in a single transaction.

Lamont said the program offers residents extra savings during the back-to-school shopping season. “I encourage everyone to take advantage of these savings and, as always, support our many locally owned small businesses,” he said.

Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz called the timing ideal for parents and families to buy clothing and other essentials for students while supporting local retailers.

The full list of items that qualify for the exemption is extensive, and available online here.
