Who needs an excuse to shop in DC? If you are one of those people, look no further. From August 4 through midnight on August 12, DC is offering its first 2007 Sales Tax Holiday. The Sales Tax holiday grants an exemption from the 5.75 percent sales tax for school items, clothes, shoes, and accessory items. To qualify, each item must cost $100 or less.
The sales tax exemption will apply to each eligible item, no matter how many items are on the bill. This is a great way to get a jump start on back to school shopping! Enjoy.
