Ohio’s extended 10-day sales-tax holiday from July 30 to August 8 allows residents to save on purchases under $500, excluding big-ticket items and certain products like alcohol, cigarettes, and vehicles, while also offering tax-free benefits for dine-in meals and online shopping.
Ohio‘s Extended Sales-Tax Holiday – What’s Tax-Free and What Isn’t
According to The Columbus Dispatch, Ohioans have a lot to look forward to this summer with an extended 10-day sales-tax holiday from July 30 to August 8. During this time, purchases of items costing $500 or less won’t have the usual sales tax added. This includes things like clothes, electronics, school supplies, and household items, making it a great opportunity to save money on everyday essentials.
However, not everything is tax-free. Big-ticket items like watercraft, cars, cigarettes, tobacco products, vaping items, marijuana-related products, and alcoholic beverages will still have sales tax applied. But if you dine in at restaurants, your meal won’t be taxed during the holiday. This gives people more ways to save, whether they’re shopping in stores or enjoying a meal out with family and friends.
