Connecticut’s annual sales tax-free week took place last week.

The tax holiday is held in late summer each year to coincide with the time when parents are typically shopping for the back-to-school season.

Day-to-day clothing items, footwear and exercise gear qualify for the exemption. Examples include golf shirts, blouses, dresses, jeans, sweat suits, sneakers, boat shoes and socks.

Accessories such as ties, gloves, arm warmers and slippers are included too, as are employee uniforms including policing, firefighting and nursing.

Officials with the state Department of Revenue Services estimated consumers would save $2 million during the holiday. But between 2016 and 2019, shoppers benefitted by more than $4 million per holiday, according to estimates from nonpartisan analysts.
