Cutrona Announces Ohio Sales Tax Holiday this Weekend

State Rep. Al Cutrona (R-Canfield) announces local residents can take advantage of the upcoming Ohio Annual Sales Tax Holiday occurring this weekend, Aug. 5-7. The annual holiday weekend ensures Ohioans do not pay state sales tax on certain exempted items.

“We’ve seen rising costs nationwide and here in Ohio due to inflation and I encourage our families in Mahoning County to take this opportunity of lower prices in purchasing items for their children for the upcoming school year,” Cutrona said.

The holiday exempts clothing items priced up to $75, school supplies up to $20, and school instructional materials at $20 or less. Items for trade or business are not exempt during this holiday.

State lawmakers created the sales tax holiday as a yearly event to provide additional tax relief for Ohioans during back-to-school season.

There is no limit on the number of items, and the exemption is eligible for online purchases as well.
