Connecticut’s 26th sales tax-free week will take place beginning Sunday, Aug.17, continuing to Saturday, Aug. 23.

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.
