I had no idea that it was $110. That seems so arbitrary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-state-have-a-clothing-tax#post-2610746 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 12:44:47 +0000 littlebug 2610746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In PA, so no!

I found this. </p> <p>New York State sales and use tax rate of 4% Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District surcharge of 0.375% There is no sales tax on an item of clothing or footwear that costs less than $110. An item of clothing or footwear that costs $110 or more is subject to the full 8.875% tax rate.</p> <p>Though, here in WA our tax is "The retail sales tax is comprised of a state tax of 6.5% and an optional local tax of 3.0%" But we don't have income tax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-state-have-a-clothing-tax#post-2610737 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 12:39:53 +0000 LCTBQE 2610737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: yeah, I'm due today and haven't shopped at ALL since I bought my mat clothes back in march--I have a feeling I'm about to join you in majorly curbing that habit post-baby :) but agreed, it's so annoying, I've many times walked away from stuff that was $109 or something because I resented the tax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-state-have-a-clothing-tax#post-2610735 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 12:38:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2610735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorthStar: same!! I love our no clothing tax. I hope it sticks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-state-have-a-clothing-tax#post-2610725 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 12:31:04 +0000 PinkElephant 2610725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: I always forget that NYC DOES tax on individual items over $100. As a SAHM, to be honest I'm not buying too many individual things over that price point, so I tend to forget....whenever I treat myself to a new pair of boots/jeans/eveningwear and have to pay tax, it's such a rude shock! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-state-have-a-clothing-tax#post-2610724 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 12:27:31 +0000 NorthStar 2610724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In MN - no tax on clothing, ever! It's the best..especially if you go shopping at the Mall of America. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-state-have-a-clothing-tax#post-2610675 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 11:50:45 +0000 LCTBQE 2610675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: NH sounds awesome-- they have the best state motto, too! In NYC there's no tax on purchases under $100, which is nice, although I have expensive taste :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-state-have-a-clothing-tax#post-2610662 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 11:42:13 +0000 ShootingStar 2610662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In MA there's no clothing tax under a certain $$ amount. Not sure what it is off hand though. We also live 2 miles from NH and do most of our shopping there and they have no sales tax on anything. Every time I go home to NY I'm horrified by paying ~8%. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-state-have-a-clothing-tax#post-2610659 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 11:40:17 +0000 josina 2610659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7% sales tax.<br /> We do have a 2 tax-free days the first weekend in August before school starts where clothes aren't taxed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-state-have-a-clothing-tax#post-2610654 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 11:36:33 +0000 BSB 2610654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: Same here.
