Ohio Sets Two-Week 2025 Sales Tax Holiday

Ohio's 2025 sales tax holiday will run from August 1 to August 14, offering two weeks of tax-free shopping for qualifying purchases up to $500 both in-store and online. The event was expanded by Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio General Assembly to include a wider range of goods beyond school supplies, aiming to provide greater financial relief for families preparing for back-to-school and other household needs. The tax exemption does not apply to vehicles, boats, alcohol, tobacco, vapor products, marijuana, or services such as repairs and alterations. House Speaker Matt Huffman and Senate President Rob McColley have highlighted the holiday’s benefits for working families and the broader economy. The initiative is intended to maximize savings and economic impact for Ohio residents. More information, including lists of eligible items, is available on the Ohio Department of Taxation website.
