State Rep. Joe Miller (D-Amherst) today announced the upcoming back-to-school Ohio sales tax holiday that will take place starting on Friday, August 2 through Sunday, August 4. In 2018, state lawmakers passed legislation making this three-day, back-to-school sales tax holiday a recurring holiday each year.

“I know firsthand how costly back-to-school supplies can be for students and their families, as well as teachers,” said Rep. Miller. “While we have more work to do to fulfill the Ohio promise of a quality education for every student, I encourage everyone to take advantage of the sales tax holiday to keep more of their hard-earned dollars in their pocket.”

During the sales tax holiday, there will be no state or local sales or use tax on school and teaching materials that cost up to 20 dollars each. The exemption will also apply to certain items of clothing costing up to 75 dollars each. 

The Ohio back-to-school tax holiday weekend will continue to be on the first Friday through Sunday in August each year.
