Shop Maryland Tax-Free Week: August 10-16

Maryland State Comptroller Peter Franchot visits April Reardon, owner of Velvet Lounge, in Downtown Frederick on Monday, August 11, 2014 during Shop Maryland Tax-Free Week.  

The Shop Maryland Tax-Free Week for 2014 runs Sunday, August 10 through Saturday, August 16. That means qualifying apparel and footwear, $100 or less per item, are exempt from state sales tax. Accessory items are not included. 

Shop Maryland Tax-Free Week coincides with back to school shopping, but it's not just for students. The week is a great time for anyone to take advantage of the savings and shop locally for clothing and other qualifying purchases.
