SALISBURY, Md.- With back-to-school shopping on many minds, the state of Maryland kicked off its tax-free week Sunday. Officially dubbed "Shop Maryland," the week runs through next Saturday, Aug. 18 and offers Maryland shoppers the chance to skip out on the state's 6 percent sales tax for clothing and shoe purchases costing $100 or less.
According to the Comptroller's Office, legislation passed in the 2007 special session of the Maryland General Assembly established a tax-free week, occurring every year during the second week in August, until the legislature decides to revisit the issue.
Certain items, like accessories, are not included in this tax exemption.
