Rep. Troy Announces Upcoming Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday Weekend

COLUMBUS – State Representative Daniel Troy (D-Willowick) today announced the upcoming back-to-school Ohio sales tax holiday that will take place starting on Friday, August 4 through Sunday, August 6. In 2018, state lawmakers passed legislation making this three-day, back-to-school sales tax holiday a recurring holiday each year.

“While I was not a member of the legislature when the law creating this annual tax holiday for school supplies and clothing was enacted, I encourage local families to take advantage of this modest savings (7.25% in Lake County; 8.00% in Cuyahoga County) this weekend in purchasing items in the annual ritual of getting kids ready to go back to school,” Representative Troy stated.

During the sales tax holiday, there will be no state or local sales or use tax on school and teaching materials that cost up to 20 dollars each. The exemption will also apply to certain items of clothing costing up to 75 dollars each.
