The sales tax holiday helps families afford shopping for school supplies.

(Columbus, Oh.)  --  Ohio retailers are participating again in the state's sales tax holiday. 

Beginning Friday morning, August 2 and lasting until midnight on Sunday, August 4, shoppers will not be charged sales tax on clothing items less than $75 or on school supplies under $20.

The discount applies to purchases made in-store and online.

Before 2018 the Ohio sales tax holiday had been a temporary measure subject to renewal. The state legislature unanimously approved a bill last year making the tax free weekend perpetual. 

The Ohio Department of Taxation has published a Sales Tax Holiday FAQ at https://www.tax.ohio.gov/sales_and_use/salestaxholiday/holidayfaq.aspx.
