When to register for tax collection
In Ohio, Stripe Tax supports calculation and collection of sales tax (including seller use tax) and additional tax types.
See Thresholds to get insights about your potential tax registration obligations in Ohio. Stripe also notifies you with email and Dashboard alerts when you need to register to collect tax. Learn more about how the monitoring tool works.
Sales tax
Remote sellers must register to collect and remit sales tax in Ohio when, in the previous or current calendar year, they do one of the following:
- Exceed a sales threshold of 100,000 USD
- Meet or exceed a volume threshold of 200 transactions
The thresholds include retail sales, including marketplace sales and sales of taxable services. The thresholds exclude wholesales (sales of resale) and sales of non-taxable services.
If your head office in the tax settings page of the Dashboard is in Ohio, you’re not a remote seller and you must register due to your physical presence in the state.
Other taxes
We also support calculation and collection of Admissions taxes in many Ohio local jurisdictions. These taxes apply to participant and spectator based entertainment, recreational and professional activities. Stripe doesn’t include transactions for this tax in its threshold monitoring.
Register to collect tax
If you’re a remote seller, Stripe can register with the local tax authorities for you.
Register for sales tax in Ohio at the tax authority (this link is accessible within the US or with a VPN).
Read our guide to navigate sales tax registration for help. You can also use Stripe to register on your behalf.
After registering, add your registration in the Stripe Dashboard to start collecting tax on your transactions in Ohio. You must add registrations for types other than sales tax, such as the Columbus Admissions Tax, as separate registrations in Stripe.
How we calculate taxes
If your head office is in the US and differs from your customer’s state, Stripe always calculates tax based on your customer’s location.
If your customer is in Ohio and your head office is also in Ohio, Stripe applies tax based on your head office, depending on the type of product or service you sell.
Report and file your taxes

Location reports
Location reports offer a summary of transaction and refund data for specific US locations and align with Ohio filing requirements. You have the option to report on an annual, semi-annual, or monthly basis.

Stripe Tax has filing partners—Taxually, Marosa, and Hands-off Sales Tax (HOST)—to help automate your tax filing. These partners automatically sync your tax transaction data in real time, eliminating the need for manual data entry or file transfers. Learn more about tax filing.
