COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced an expansion of the 2024 tax holiday, a move expected to provide significant relief to Ohio families preparing for the upcoming school year.
The Sales Tax Holiday will commence at 12 AM on July 30 and conclude at 11:59 PM on August 8. This 10-day holiday, an increase from previous years, allows for tax-free purchases on eligible items 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 Governor 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 expansion of the tax holiday is seen as a significant step in supporting Ohio’s families and stimulating the local economy. As families prepare for the new academic year, this measure provides an opportunity for substantial savings.
