Ohio offers a sales tax holiday of at least three days that includes the first Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of August each year if a budget surplus exists. For 2025, Ohio’s sales tax holiday is from 12:00 a.m. Friday, August 1 until 11:59 p.m. Thursday, August 14.
The sales tax holiday will include all tangible personal property that is $500 or less. Some examples of tangible personal property include, but are not limited to electronics, clothes, home goods, dine-in food, dietary supplements, pet food, toys, school and office supplies, sports equipment, luggage, musical instruments, personal care products, and soft drinks.
For example, would the purchase of two shirts, two pair of pants, a pair of shoes and a jacket (each item costing $100, total purchase $600) be tax exempt? There is no limit on the amount of the total purchase. The qualification is determined item by item. All this information can be found on the Ohio Department of Taxation Website.
Just an FYI: The sales tax holiday will not include tangible personal property that is over $500 like watercraft, a motor vehicle, an alcoholic beverage, tobacco, a vapor product, or an item that contains marijuana.
