NYC Sales Tax. New York has repealed the sales tax holiday on clothing costing less than $110, as of Oct. 1.
State legislators voted to repeal the exemption in August, effective the first week of October, to give parents a temporary reprieve during the back-to-school shopping season.
The repeal of the tax exemption means all purchases of clothing under $110 will cost four percent more between Oct. 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011.
The exemption will return for a full year beginning April 1, 2011, but will only apply to clothing purchases less than $55.
The tax exemption was originally implemented in 2006 to stop New Yorkers from traveling to New Jersey to shop, as the Garden State does not have such a tax.
The exemption's repeal was one of Gov. David Paterson's proposals included in the 2010-11 state budget to help close a $9.2 billion deficit, and is expected to generate an estimated $540 million
