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.
“It’s almost every item in the store; items $500 or less are eligible for tax-free,” Sean Espy, a store manager for Walmart, said. “So again, it’s for those families that are getting kids back to school, but it’s also for people that don’t have children to take advantage of those savings.”
The tax-free holiday runs until Aug. 14, and online purchases are also included.
