Maryland’s tax-free week returns this month to help parents get the clothes and supplies they need as the summer winds down and the school year fast approaches.

Beginning August 11 until August 17, qualifying clothing and footwear $100 or less will be exempt from the state’s six percent sales tax. Additionally, the first $40 of any backpack purchase will also be tax-free.

The comptroller’s office shared that these items qualify for the promotion:

• Sweater
• Shirts
• Jeans
• Dresses
• Robes
• Underwear
• Belts
• Shoes and boots

Additionally, the promotion doesn’t just have to be for back-to-school shopping — anyone can take advantage of the deals!
