Ohio’s sales tax holiday expands to 10 days and includes more items
Families looking to save money as they head back to school will want to plan their shopping during the state’s annual sales tax holiday — this year expanded to 10 days and including more items than ever before. Gov. Mike DeWine announced the 2024 expanded sales tax holiday will take place from 12 a.m. Tuesday through 11:59 p.m. Aug. 8. In conjunction with the Ohio General Assembly, Mr. DeWine expanded the event’s length to 10 days and will allow tax-free purchases made in person or online on all eligible items of up to $500. Previous sales tax holidays ran three days, included only school-related items, and offered much lower purchase price limits of $75 maximum on an item of clothing, and $20 per item of instructional material and school supplies.
