It's hard to believe that August is here -- time sure is flying by! With each passing day, the upcoming school year grows closer which means parents need to start preparing. In the Ohio Senate, we know that Ohio’s families could use some help, and we are committed to providing some relief during the expensive back-to-school season. That is why, for the third year in a row, the General Assembly has passed the Ohio Sales Tax Holiday to help families stretch their dollars a little further as they prepare to send their kids back to school.
Beginning Friday, August 4 and running through Sunday, August 6, families can take advantage of this unique tax-free weekend when purchasing select items. All shoes and clothing priced less than $75 will be exempt from state and local sales and use taxes during this period. School supplies and instructional materials priced at $20 or less will also be tax exempt. Even online vendors will be more affordable, as they will waive local and state sales taxes on designated items during the three-day tax holiday.
The Sales Tax Holiday is a win-win for Ohio’s families, teachers, businesses and most importantly, students. We hope that families will take advantage of this opportunity to keep more of their hard earned money in their pockets as they prepare for the upcoming school year and provide their kids with the items they need to succeed inside the classroom!
