State Lowers Bar on Sales Tax Exemption for Clothing and Shoes
Friday, March 18, 2011 - 02:22 PM
A sales tax exemption on clothing and shoes is coming back to New York State — but only for some items.
Starting April 1, items that cost less than $55 will not be subject to the state’s 4 percent sales tax.
Previously, the state had enacted a similar break on items costing less than $110.
Several counties in the state still charge a local sales tax on clothing.

great. Now maybe I can go shopping again. Now if the total bill totals over $55.00 do I still pay the tax?
