So did everyone hear? New York State drops sales tax on all clothes under $110.00! Pretty much all the clothes I buy are under $110.00, so this is great news for me, and a lot of ladies I know...Usually New York would do this for 2 weeks out of the year, "Tax Free Week", once in Spring and once in Fall...by the time that tax-free week was over I felt as if I never made it to the stores, or if I did I had not even noticed. For now, this looks to be a permanent decision. In the Newsday article I have linked, they say that retail experts think that after a big boost in sales for a few weeks, consumers will spend what they save...So much for saving and not buying, another slimey tactic to get folks out there to spend more money!
