MARYLAND – As back-to-school season approaches, so does Maryland’s annual tax-free week.
From August 13 – 19, qualifying merchandise such as clothing and footwear priced at $100 or less (per item) will be exempt from Mayland’s 6 percent sales tax. However, some items, such as briefcases, suitcases, and purses, are not exempt and remain taxable.
Tax-free shopping also extends to online purchases if the order is placed and paid for within the allotted tax-free period.
While this week is mainly geared toward helping students and families acquire all of their needed back-to-school supplies, anyone can take advantage of this year’s tax-free week!
