D.C. Sales Tax Holiday Going Strong
posted 4:57 pm Sat November 24, 2007 - Washington
Holiday shopping will be a little bit lighter on the wallet starting Friday.
The District's next sales tax holiday starts then, until the following Friday, December 2. The holiday exempts specific items under $100 from the city's 5.75 percent sales tax. The eligible items include clothes, shoes and accessories.
The rules said that the tax exemption applies to each eligible item no matter how many items a customer buys on the same bill.
It can also apply to layaway sales if the buyer and seller begin the layaway agreement during the tax holiday, or if the customer makes the final payment on the layaway item during the holiday.
