COLUMBUS, Ohio - Gov. Mike DeWine is encouraging Ohioans to take advantage of this year's Sales Tax Holiday, which is designed to provide meaningful savings for families across the state.

The 2025 Sales Tax Holiday will run from midnight Aug. 1 to 11:59 p.m. Aug. 14.

In 2024, DeWine and the Ohio General Assembly expanded the Sales Tax Holiday to include more items and run for a longer period. Instead of the usual three days, it lasted 10 days and was expanded to include a variety of items up to $500, rather than limited to school supplies.

"The timing of this year's sales tax holiday not only supports families preparing for back-to-school, but also provides relief on other important household needs," DeWine said.

Shoppers will be able to make qualifying purchases both in stores and online without paying state sales tax. The tax exemption does not apply to services or purchases of motor vehicles, watercraft, outboard motors, alcohol, tobacco, vapor products or any item containing marijuana.
