Ohioans are encouraged to take advantage of this year’s Sales Tax Holiday.
The 2025 Sales Tax Holiday will run for two full weeks, beginning at 12:00 a.m. Aug. 1, and ending at 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 14.
In 2024, the Sales Tax Holiday was expanded to include more items and run for a longer period. Instead of the usual three days, it will last ten days and has been expanded to include a wide range of items up to $500, rather than being limited to school supplies.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine was quoted in a press release as saying, “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.”
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 of motor vehicles, watercraft, outboard motors, alcohol, tobacco, vapor products, or any item containing marijuana.
