Sales Tax Holiday Kicks Off Today

Ohio’s sales tax hol­i­day week­end is upon us. From today until mid­night Sun­day night, back-to-school shop­pers can expect to save on items such as cloth­ing priced under $75 and school sup­plies. Unlike some other states, com­put­ers are not included in the sales tax break. Sports equip­ment and work uni­forms are also excluded. Six­teen states across the coun­try offer a sim­i­lar tax hol­i­day for shop­pers. Ohio expects to lose about $13.5 mil­lion on tax rev­enue over the three-day span.
