NEW YORK STATE -- If you're planning on going shopping this weekend, you may want to know about a sales tax break coming our way.

The state tax department says starting April 1, the four percent state sales tax on clothing and footwear costing less than $110 will be dropped.

Last year, the threshold was $55.

Most local governments in our area, however, will still collect local sales tax.

Shoppers can enjoy the tax break for a year.
