Our wallets are exhausted and back to school commercials are creeping in faster than monkeypox. 🐒 But Ohio's coming through with a tax-free weekend to give you a break! 😅
This weekend, August 5, 6 and 7, is tax-free weekend in the Buckeye state. Time to stock up on everything you need to get the kiddos ready...and maybe treat yo-self to a little somethin' special. 👛
Here’s Five Fast Facts on the OH tax-free weekend :
- 🛒 Details, Please - At retailers state-wide, the following items are exempt from sales and use tax: clothing priced at $75 or less, school supplies priced at $20 or less, and school instructional materials priced at $20 or less.
- 🗒️ Fine Print - There is no limit on the amount of your total purchase, but not everything is eligible under the tax-free guidelines. Items like certain clothing accessories, sports equipment, and costumes aren't eligible so check before you buy.
