Connecticut's Sales Tax Free Week starts this Sunday and is running through Aug. 21.

Throughout the week, retail purchases of most clothing and shoes under $100 are exempted from the state's sales tax. A list of items exempt from taxation is available at ct.gov/drs.

"Having this tax-free holiday helps working families stretch their dollar a little bit more during the busy back-to-school season, while giving businesses an extra boost to their bottom line," Gov. Ned Lamont said in a news release. "I also encourage everyone taking advantage of this tax-free holiday to consider shopping at some of our locally-owned retailers and support Connecticut's small business community."

Crystal Mall in Waterford promoted the tax break in a news release earlier this past week and noted that multiple retailers also are offering special discounts and events, which can be viewed at simon.com/mall/crystal-mall/deals.
