Attention Delmarva shoppers! Get ready to save big during Maryland’s Tax-Free Week, happening August 10th through August 16th, 2025. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe, pick up some new kicks, or get the kids ready for school—this is it!

What’s Tax-Free?

During this special week, qualifying clothing and footwear priced at $100 or less per item are exempt from Maryland’s 6% sales tax. That means you can save on:

• Jeans, pants, skirts, dresses

• Sneakers, boots, and sandals

• Shirts, jackets, and school uniforms

• And more—just as long as each item is $100 or less!

Bonus savings: Backpacks and bookbags are also eligible—the first $40 of the price is tax-free.

What’s Not Included?

• Items over $100 (even by a penny!)

• Accessories like jewelry, purses, watches, and belts

• Sports gear and protective equipment

So if you're eyeing a $120 designer coat... sorry, that one’s still taxed!

Pro Tips from B106:

• Shop early – Sizes and styles go fast!

• Look for sales + the tax break – Double up your savings.

• Online orders count – As long as they’re placed and paid for during Tax-Free Week and shipped from a Maryland-based retailer.

• Layaway is eligible – If initiated during the tax-free window.
