Ohio's sales tax holiday is Aug. 6-8

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio’s annual sales tax holiday is Aug. 6-8.

The annual holiday is always popular with Ohioans, who don’t have to pay state sales tax on certain exempted items during the holiday, according to a news release from Ohio Rep. Haraz Ghanbari, R-Perrysburg.

“August is here and our children are soon heading back to school,” Ghanbari said. “As a father myself, I know parents can be hit with lots of expenditures during this time and I hope they take advantage of these discounts when they’re shopping for those school clothes and supplies.”

The holiday exempts clothing items priced up to $75, school supplies up to $20 and school instructional materials at $20 or less. Items for trade or business are not exempt during this holiday.
 
State lawmakers created the sales tax holiday as a yearly event to provide additional tax relief for Ohioans during back-to-school season.
There is no limit on the number of items, and the exemption is eligible for online purchases as well.
