Normal 0 If you’re in the market for a new refrigerator, dishwasher, or other large appliance, this holiday weekend might be the perfect time to make that purchase. Through February 21st, Maryland is waiving the sales tax on certain Energy Star appliances.
Energy Star products can save homeowners money as well as energy, cutting energy bills by about one-third. When it comes to dishwashing, installing an energy-efficient dishwasher will save consumers an average of $431 per year on utility and water bills combined.
This tax-free shopping period was approved during a special session of the Maryland General Assembly back in 2007. There will also be a week of tax-free shopping on clothing and shoes under $100. That takes place the 2nd week in August.
More information about the tax-free shopping program and which appliances are eligible can be found on the website for the Maryland State Comptroller.
