Collect tax in Ohio

In Ohio, Stripe Tax supports calculation and collection of sales tax (including seller use tax) and additional tax types.

When to register for tax collection

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 nontaxable sales of tangible personal property and marketplace sales. The thresholds exclude wholesales (sales of resale) and sales of nontaxable services.

If your Origin address 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

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 origin address 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 origin address is also in Ohio, Stripe applies tax based on your origin address, depending on the type of product or service you sell.

Report and file your taxes

Stripe provides reports of your completed tax transactions. Go to Registrations to access these reports.

Exports

The tax transaction data export provides a comprehensive and aggregated view of transactions by location, including a breakdown of individual tax amounts. Learn more about tax reporting exports.

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, semiannual, or monthly basis.

Filing

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.
