WARREN COUNTY, OH -- Governor Mike DeWine is encouraging Ohioans to take advantage of this year’s Sales Tax Holiday, which will run for two full weeks, rather than just a weekend. Beginning at 12:00 a.m. on Friday, August 1, and ending at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, August 14, Ohioans will be able to participate in the "holiday" designed to provide meaningful savings for families across the state.
In 2024, Governor DeWine and the Ohio General Assembly expanded the Sales Tax Holiday to include more items and run for a longer period. Instead of the usual three days, it lasted ten days and was expanded to include a wide range of items up to $500, rather than limited to school supplies.
“The timing of this year’s sales tax holiday not only supports families preparing for back-to-school, but also provides relief on other important household needs,” said Governor DeWine.
During the holiday, shoppers will be able to make qualifying purchases both in-store and online without paying state sales tax. The tax exemption does not apply to services or to purchases motor vehicles, watercraft, outboard motors, alcohol, tobacco, vapor products, or any item containing marijuana.
Eligible Items include:
- Almost all tangible personal property priced at $500 or less is tax-free.
- Electronics: Computers, televisions, and other gadgets
- Clothing: Any apparel items
- Books: All types, including novels and textbooks
- Home Goods: Furniture, kitchenware, and home décor
- Plants: Indoor and outdoor plants
- Sporting Goods: Equipment and apparel for sports
- Food and Beverages: Dine-in food, dietary supplements, and soft drinks
These are just examples. Many other items will also be exempt from sales tax during this period. To learn more visit https://tax.ohio.gov/business/ohio-business-taxes/sales-and-use/sales-tax-holiday.
