NORWICH – The City will not be collecting a local government tax on clothing and shoes that cost less than $110 per item as shoppers get a year-long break from the New York State sales tax on clothing and shoes costing the same amount.

As of April 1, clothing and footwear costing less than $110 is exempt from the 4 percent state sales tax, offering a bit of financial relief for local shoppers.
