OHIO, USA — Ohio’s 2024 sales tax holiday has been extended to 10 days.
Gov. Mike DeWine announced on Friday that he extended the annual sales tax holiday for 2024. It will start at midnight on July 30 and last until 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 8.
The state’s sales tax holiday, which began in 2019, lasted three days and took place on the first Friday, Saturday and Sunday of August each year. School supplies, school instruction materials up to $20 and clothes up to $75 were eligible for tax-free purchases.
This year, Ohioans can make tax-free purchases in person or online on eligible items of up to $500.
“Ohio’s sales tax holiday, historically, has been meant to help families buy clothing and school supplies for the upcoming school year,” said DeWine. “This expanded sales tax break will help Ohio’s families with back-to-school necessities as well as other substantial purchases during a time when so many household budgets are being strained.”
The sales tax holiday does not include an exemption for the purchase of watercraft, outboard motors, motor vehicles, alcoholic beverages, tobacco, vapor products or items that contain marijuana.
