2012 Shop Maryland Tax Free Week

Maryland goes tax-free for back-to-school shopping week. From 12:01 a.m. Sunday, August 12, through midnight Saturday, August 18, qualifying clothes and shoes, costing up to $100 per item, will be exempt from Maryland's six percent sales tax.

A list of exempt and taxable items is available on the Comptroller's website at www.marylandtaxes.com or by calling the Taxpayer Service section toll-free at 1-800-MDTAXES from elsewhere.

In addition to the back-to-school shopping event this summer, there will also be a tax-free weekend on ENERGY STAR products during the third weekend in February 2013.
