State Rep. Steve Huffman
Constituents
Encouraged to Participate in Sales Tax Holiday
COLUMBUS—Representative Steve Huffman (R-Tipp City) announced today
that Ohio’s first-ever, one-time Sales Tax Holiday will begin on
Friday, August 7th at 12:01 a.m. and will end on Sunday, August 9th at
11:59 p.m. This initiative was created through Senate Bill 243, signed
into law in December of 2014.
“I urge my constituents to take advantage of the Sales Tax Holiday to
not only help stimulate the local economy, but the state as a whole,”
said Huffman. “For the parents and students, this will be an opportune
time to stock up on supplies for the upcoming school year.”
The sales tax holiday will be especially beneficial for back-to-school
shopping, and the tax exempt items are as follows:
· Clothing priced at
$75 or less
· School supplies
priced at $20 or less
· School instructional
material priced at $20 or less
These price limits apply on a per-item basis, and Ohioans can purchase
as many items as they need. Items with a price higher than these limits
will be taxed at the standard rate.
Additional information on the Sales Tax Holiday is available through
the Ohio Department of Taxation at
