In this morning’s roundup, I mentioned that Virginia’s sales tax holiday kicks off on Friday. Turns out that Maryland’s sales tax holiday also begins this weekend and lasts for a week. But if you’ve been waiting all summer to take advantage of the break on sales taxes to buy clothes and other such “school supplies” in D.C., don’t hold your breath. If you’ve forgotten, the city repealed the summer sales tax holiday last year, in an attempt to save $640,000 in tax revenues. (Of course, given that the city is currently missing out on, oh, $170 million or so in tax revenue, that figure sure feels like a little drop in a very big bucket.) Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from just hopping on over to our neighbors to get a little discount: sales tax on clothing and footwear priced at $100 or less won’t be charged through Sunday in Virginia and through August 14 in Maryland.
