Shop Tax Free in DC August 5–13
The District of Columbia will offer a Sales Tax Holiday beginning 12:01am Saturday, August 5 through midnight Sunday, August 13 to provide buyers an exemption from the 5.75 percent sales tax for shoes, clothing, and accessory items. The exemption covers each item costing $100 or less.
The purpose of the August “holiday” is to encourage families who are preparing their children for the upcoming school year to shop in the District. In addition, there will be a second one held in November, beginning the weekend following Thanksgiving, November 24, and continuing through midnight December 3.
For more information about the Sales Tax Holiday, the public and businesses should visit OTR’s website or call its Customer Service Center at (202) 727-4TAX (4829).
