Seventeen states are offering a sales tax holiday. Eligible back-to-school items vary by state and may include school supplies, backpacks, clothing, footwear and computers.
“The Exchange’s tax holiday bonus savings lets military families enjoy the excitement of preparing for a new school year without the stress of breaking the budget,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Osby, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor.
Shoppers can check for their state’s participation, dates and eligible items at www.taxadmin.org/2022-sales-tax-holiday. Ohio’s dates are Aug. 5-7. Exchange discounts are valid in stores only.
It matters where the military community shops. A 100% of Exchange earnings are re-invested in the military community, including through support for on-installation quality-of-life programs. In the last 10 years, the Exchange has contributed $3.5 billion to these critical programs.
