OHIO SALES TAX HOLIDAY 7/30 - 8/8
EXTENDED TO DINE-IN ORDERING AT RESTAURANTS FOR FIRST TIME
| |
|
The sales-tax hiatus that Ohioans enjoy each year is being extended to restaurants for the first time. The state’s sales tax holiday traditionally applies to retail stores, but this year restaurants will be included. The tax hiatus runs midnight Tuesday, July 30, through 11:59 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8. Recent legislation added inclusion of dine-in food sales at restaurants as part of the tax break.
Some limitations are in place. Alcohol is not included. Total price of “buy one, get one free” or similar deals cannot be averaged to qualify both items. Dining checks may not be split so that a portion is under $500 with the remainder charged separately.
According to the Ohio Department of Taxation: “Since food is taxable when it is ‘dine-in,’ any menu item that is less than $500 would qualify for the sales tax holiday exemption, except for alcohol (or any other non-qualified item). For example, a total check may be over $500, but if each menu item ordered is less than $500, then the entire check would be tax free.”
Discounts, coupons, loyalty programs and gift cards that reduce the price of an eligible item to $500 or less are allowed. (SOURCE: Cleveland.com).
