Save the date: Ohio sales tax holiday savings opportunity. Two-week sales tax holiday provides relief to families Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is encouraging Ohioans to take advantage of this year’s sales tax holiday, which is intended to provide meaningful savings for families across the state. During the sales tax holiday, which takes place from Friday, Aug. 1, to Thursday, Aug. 14, shoppers will be able to make qualifying purchases both in-store and online without paying state sales tax, with certain exemptions. In 2024, Governor DeWine and the Ohio General Assembly expanded the sales tax holiday to include more items and to run for a longer period. Instead of the previous period of three days, it lasted 10 days and was expanded to include a wide range of items up to $500, rather than limiting the sales tax exemption to school supplies. This year’s sales tax holiday lasts two full weeks. Learn more about eligible items on the Ohio Department of Taxation’s website.
