ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio – Getting the kids ready for a new school year can be a daunting task. That’s why Ohio’s Sales Tax Holiday is so important to families who want to make the most of their back-to-school shopping haul.
From August 1 through 14, two full weeks, there will be no sales tax on any item of tangible merchandise (clothing, footwear, dine-in food, school supplies, sports equipment, personal care products, etc.) costing $500 or less. Personal computers, laptops and tablets priced at $1,500 or less are also tax-free.
There’s no limit on the number of items purchased. For example, if a parent buys six shirts and five pants, each priced at $50, the total sales price would be $550. But because each item costs under $500, there would be no sales tax.
Certainly, there are a few limitations. For example, alcoholic beverages, watercraft, motor vehicles and tobacco are not exempt.
