DC Sales Tax Holiday
I figure I'll follow Allan's lead and remind locals of the DC Sales tax holiday for this week.
You know all you MBA / JHU Grad students need to do your back to school shopping (I ever tell you all how nice it is to be done? I think I'll be playing some PS2...and doing some reading....and watching tv...yeah that'l be great....looking forward to school Pete?)
Shop DC Tax Free! District to Offer Sales Tax Holiday August 6-14, 2005
(Washington DC) The District of Columbia will offer a Sales Tax Holiday from Saturday, August 6, 2005, through Sunday, August 14, 2005 – just in time for back-to-school shopping.
The Sales Tax Holiday saves shoppers the usual 5.75 percent sales tax when purchasing school items, clothes, accessories, and shoes. To qualify, each item must cost $100 or less.
The sales tax exemption applies to each eligible item – no matter how many items are on the bill. It also applies to layaway sales, if the retailer and customer enter into a layaway agreement or the customer makes the final payment on the layaway order during the Sales Tax Holiday.
This is the first of two Sales Tax Holidays that are now held annually in the District. The second one for 2005 will be held from November 25 to December 4.
