Economy and Business Thursday, August 9, 2012 Back to school tax holiday may be in the works Youngstown Rep. Ron Gerberry proposes two-day suspension of state sales tax on school supplies, clothes, computers by WKSU's STATEHOUSE BUREAU CHIEF KAREN KASLER |
 Reporter Karen Kasler | | |
In The Region: It’s an idea that comes around every couple of years – a proposal to temporarily suspend the state sales tax. This time, it’s two Democratic state lawmakers from northeast Ohio who are suggesting a two-day state sales tax moratorium for back-to-school shoppers. Under the bill, clothing and school supplies priced under $100, and personal computers under $750, would be exempt from the state sales tax.
Rep. Ron Gerberry of Youngstown notes that there’s no sales tax on clothing in Pennsylvania, so he thinks this could be very popular. |
“Here’s an opportunity to have an impact quickly people’s lives [in] a very short period of time. It’s a very short window. But people could take advantage of it. And if you’re asking me, ‘Can we, the State of Ohio, afford a two-day moratorium on sales tax for school clothes?’ I think we can.”
Gerberry and Rep. Matt Lundy of Elyria say there’s no way the bill could change this year’s school shopping season, but if it passes it could be in place for next year. However, Republicans dominate the House and Senate, and the bill has no Republican co-sponsors. |
