Ohio rules for a business with a website

  • Corporations and LLCs are formed by filing with the Ohio Secretary of State (filings can be made at OhioBusinessCentral.gov); the state’s own small-business guide says contacting the Secretary of State is the first step. Sole proprietorships do not register the entity. Ohio Secretary of State
  • 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
