Rep. McNally Announces Upcoming Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday Weekend

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Lauren McNally (D-Youngstown) today announced the upcoming back-to-school Ohio sales tax holiday that will take place starting on Friday, August 4 through Sunday, August 6. In 2018, state lawmakers passed legislation making this three-day, back-to-school sales tax holiday a recurring holiday each year.

“This is very much a family-first kind of program. It can be expensive to get kids back to school and make sure their classrooms have the supplies needed for a successful year,” said Rep. McNally. “I’m glad we are continuing with our tax-free weekend and that we can help all families keep a little extra money in their pocketbooks.”

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.
