North Country shoppers reminded that clothing and footwear items sold for less than $110 are exempt from state sales tax

Posted

As the holidays approach, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance wants to remind shoppers and retailers that clothing and footwear items sold for less than $110 are exempt from New York State’s 4 percent sales tax.

Clothing and footwear items sold for under $110 are always exempt from New York State sales tax—during the holiday shopping season and throughout the year

Shoppers statewide who make qualifying purchases don’t have to pay the 4 percent state sales tax on those items.

The state exemption alone translates into about $900 million of savings annually. The combined amount from the state and local sales tax exemptions is more than $1 billion annually.
