Tax Free ShoppingThe Great Garden State of New Jersey, which is where our company is located, does not require business to collect sales tax on clothing. Therefore, all Lingerie and clothing products you purchase from MyCamila.com are Tax Free. Please follow your own State's guidelines with regard to out of state tax reporting.
Here is the legal mumbo jumbo.
NOTICE : SALES AND USE TAX EXEMPTION FOR CLOTHING UNDER THE STREAMLINED SALES AND USE TAX LAW (P.L. 2005, c. 126) (Effective October 1, 2005)
Posting date: 9/6/05 (Revised 9/1/06)
The adoption of the provisions of the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement (SSUTA) results in minor changes to the current sales and use tax exemption for specific types of clothing and footwear for human use. Clothing is defined as all human wearing apparel suitable for general use. N.J.S.A. 54:32B-8.4
In general, clothing and footwear are currently exempt from tax and remain exempt from tax.
However, the following types of clothing, which are currently subject to tax, will be exempt on and after October 1, 2005:
Costumes: Under current law, only sales of “children’s costumes,” such as Halloween, dance recital, etc. are considered to be exempt clothing. Both the sale (and rental) of adult costumes are subject to tax. The definition of “clothing” in the new law does not make a distinction between children’s and adult costumes. Therefore, on and after October 1, 2005, the sale and rental of all costumes is exempt from tax. Separately purchased masks and other costume accessories remain taxable.
Fur clothing and footwear: Under the new law, fur clothing and footwear are exempt from sales tax. For additional information concerning fur purchases, see the Division’s Notice specifically addressing this area, available on the website at: http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/salestaxfur.shtml
NOTE: Effective July 15, 2006, a gross receipts tax of 6% is imposed on the retail sale of fur clothing. For additional information concerning this tax, see the Division's Notice at: http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/pdf/furclothingusetax.pdf
