The holiday, which started yesterday and runs through tomorrow (Sunday), will make certain purchases like clothing and school supplies exempt from state and local sales tax. Here's a refresher on how the tax holiday works:
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Ohio’s sales tax holiday is fast approaching, starting Friday, Aug. 5, and running through Sunday, Aug. 7.
In Cuyahoga County, the holiday will wipe away an 8% sales tax, or 8 cents on the dollar. For example, someone buying $100 worth of school supplies will save $8 in sales tax.Three kinds of items are exempt from sales tax this weekend. An item of clothing that costs $75 or less, school supplies that costs $20 or less and any school instructional material priced at $20 or less.If a person bought six shirts for $50 a piece, the whole $300 purchase can be sales tax exempt.
For example, most shoes count, but football cleats do not. Face shields or jewelry will also have sales tax. If an item is “buy one, get one free” the regular advertised price decides whether it’s tax exempt. So an $80 buy-one, get-one deal will have sales tax.
