During the holiday customers won’t pay sales or use tax on school supplies and instructional materials priced at $20 or less and clothing costing $75 or less.
Gov. John Kasich signed a bill that made the tax-free holiday a permanent law earlier this year.
“We have data from the last two years that shows there is a large spike during the weekend,” said Ohio Rep. Niraj Antani, R-Miamisburg. “We would like to create a Black Friday-like event during August.”
