Description
🛍️ Massachusetts Sales Tax Holiday is the perfect time to save — and support the local businesses that make our communities special!
During the Sales Tax Holiday, most retail items priced at $2,500 or less will be exempt from the state's 6.25% sales tax, giving shoppers an extra incentive to buy local. Whether you're looking for back-to-school supplies, home goods, electronics, clothing, gifts, or that item you've been putting off purchasing, consider visiting one of Greater Cape Ann's many locally owned businesses.
When you shop local, more of your dollars stay in the community, supporting local jobs, vibrant downtowns, and the small businesses that help define the character of Gloucester, Rockport, Essex, Ipswich, and Manchester-by-the-Sea.
Mark your calendar, take advantage of the savings, and make a point to Shop Greater Cape Ann during the Massachusetts Sales Tax Holiday!
