Running a website from Lafayette: the Ohio rules

A few rules apply to any Lafayette business that sells or advertises online:

• Out-of-state sellers have to collect Ohio sales tax once they reach the state threshold: Gross receipts greater than $100,000 OR at least 200 transactions in the current or previous calendar year (in effect since August 1, 2019). Am. Sub. H.B. 166 (2019)
• Ohio’s state sales tax rate is 5.75%. Counties and regional transit authorities may each levy sales tax in increments of 0.05% up to 1.5%, and the combined state, county and transit rate cannot exceed 8.75%. Ohio Department of Taxation

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
