- Ohio’s 2025 Sales Tax Holiday runs from August 1 to August 14.
- Most tangible personal property priced at $500 or less is tax-free.
- Exclusions include watercraft, motor vehicles, alcoholic beverages, tobacco, vapor products, and items with marijuana.
- Tax-exempt items include electronics, clothing, books, home goods, plants, sporting goods, and certain food and beverages.
- The Ohio Department of Taxation assists businesses in understanding the changes.
- Sales of exempt and taxable items together require separate pricing to apply exemptions.
- Items sold as a unit must remain as a unit to qualify for exemption.
- Online sales qualify if ordered and paid for during the exemption period.
- Shipping charges are not taxable if all items are exempt and within the price threshold.
- Exchanges for the same item after the holiday remain tax-free; different items incur tax.
