The City of Boston attracts Shopaholics

For all you shopaholics out there, if you’re looking for a great deal on the latest fashion trends, make your way to Boston, Massachusetts where you’ll not only find a large array of department stores and stylish boutiques, but a zero percent sales tax on all clothing items under $175. Yes, you heard right, no sales tax! 

In the month of January, the city of Boston implements a sales tax holiday on all clothing. Since clothing is considered an essential item, it becomes tax-free and shoppers flock to the city to take advantage of the savings.

Some cities, like New York, recently suspended their tax holidays on clothing in order to increase state revenue.

If you are looking to accurately keep track of sales tax holidays changes and other tax management complexities, you should consider implementing an automated sales tax compliance solution.
