Ray Reminds Residents of Ohio Sales Tax Holiday this Weekend

State Rep. Sharon Ray (R-Wadsworth) announces Ohio residents can take advantage of the upcoming annual Ohio 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.

“Families across Medina County have this wonderful opportunity to get some discounts in the form of tax relief, which aligns perfectly to save your hard-earned money on various clothing and school materials for the upcoming school year,” Ray 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.
