In 2024, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and the Ohio General Assembly expanded the sales tax holiday to include more items and run longer. That trend will continue this year, with the holiday applying to tax-free purchases made in-person or online on all eligible items of up to $500.

Ohio’s extended tax-free holiday has very few limitations on what is included. From TVs to furniture, even gaming systems. If it’s $500 or under, it’s tax-free from now until Aug. 14. Exclusions include alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana products, which will all still be taxed.

The 2025 holiday will run for two full weeks, beginning at midnight on Friday, August 1, and ending at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, August 14.
