Ohio residents can take advantage of a sales tax holiday starting Tuesday, running for ten days until August 8. This year, the holiday is extended, offering a tax break on various items as long as they are under $500 in value. The tax exemption applies to a wide range of products, including back-to-school clothing, educational items, appliances, furniture, and even meals at restaurants in Ohio, excluding alcohol. Online retailers are also included in the sales tax holiday.
However, there are some restrictions, as items like alcohol, marijuana, tobacco products, cars, and boats are not eligible for the tax break. Ohioans have the opportunity to save money on their purchases during this extended sales tax holiday and make the most of the tax exemption on a variety of items. With the tax break applying to both in-store and online purchases, residents can take advantage of the ten-day holiday to stock up on back-to-school essentials and other necessary items without having to pay sales tax on each individual item. This presents a great opportunity for Ohio residents to save money and enjoy a little extra flexibility in their purchasing decisions during the sales tax holiday period.
