Shop Tax Free This Week

Purchases under $100 will be tax-free through Aug. 20.

If you're gearing up for some back-to-school shopping, you're in luck. This week marks Shop Maryland Week, and that means that qualifying purchases under $100 will be exempt from Maryland's six percent sales tax.

Purchases include items like clothing and footwear.

More information -- including items that are tax-exempt this week, a tax-free week FAQ and fact sheet -- is available via the Comptroller of Maryland's website.
