District shoppers should take note that next Friday, the District’s annual holiday sales tax holiday goes into effect for 10 days. The AP, via WJLA, is reporting that D.C.’s 5.75 percent sales tax will be suspended on items $100 and less. This has been an initiative of Council member Carol Schwartz to spark interest in D.C. retail. A similar sales tax holiday runs in August for back to school shopping.
DCist suggests taking advantage of some of the new shopping corridors developing along Seventh Street (seen here) and 14th and U streets. We’re sure Georgetown will be packed the weekend after Thanksgiving as it always is.
