Don’t Shop Quite Yet…

marc sale heels.jpgWe interrupt Fashion Trivia to bring you this crucial warning:

If you’re in New York City, don’t shop quite yet.

Hold off for two weeks, because City Hall just passed a resolution - and by just, we mean, like, an hour ago - eliminating all city sales tax on clothing and shoes.

The law goes into effect on July 1, which is fifteen days away.

That means if we hold out just a little while longer, we can buy these Marc pumps, which we like even more than James McAvoy - and that’s very hard to beat.

This is great news. Now I don't have to drive down to Jersey for tax-free shopping. ;)

This is amazing news, considering that I am moving from Minnesota (which is tax-free for clothing) to New York this fall! Now I won't miss anything, including tax-free shopping!

Such great news for someone visiting New York in August. Exceptionally good news for someone who has to pay 13% sales tax at home (in Vancouver).

Here's a link for an article about it:
http://www.gothamgazette.com/article/issueoftheweek/20070618/200/2207

Please someone tell me that I'll be able to get a refund on sales tax I've already paid in the past week? I went INSANE at the Saks sale and spent $550, on some definitely taxable items.

It's a shame the state just doesn't take away the clothing sales tax period--then again, I'd really have no reason to want to visit PA and hit up King of Prussia...

Needless to say, an excellent step in the right direction.
