Ohio Streamlined Sales Tax Effort Takes a Step Forward
Newly
passed legislation allows businesses to calculate sales tax using the
traditional method based on the origin of the sale beginning May 1, 2008.

This
notice is provided by the Ohio Department of Taxation to make all
practitioners aware of a news release issued April 25 regarding the
streamlined sales tax.
The
release, "Streamlined Sales Tax Effort Takes Step Forward," highlights
legislation signed last week by Governor Ted Strickland that allows
Ohio-based businesses that engage in delivery sales to return to the
traditional method of calculating sales tax based on the origin of the
sale.
The
legislation, House Bill 429, sponsored by Rep. Bob Gibbs, R-Lakeville
–allows businesses to make this switch as early as May 1, if they choose.
But they also have the option of taking more time - merchants who had
already begun charging sales tax on delivery sales based on the
destination of the sale have, in total, until Jan. 1, 2010 to switch back
to the traditional origin method.
The new
law is, in part, a response to small business owners who considered
destination sourcing more complex than Ohio’s traditional “origin”
method. The vast majority of Ohio merchants have always collected and
remitted sales tax based on the location of their store. H.B. 429 also
means no change for out-of-state retailers selling into Ohio; they
continue to collect sales taxes based on the rate at the destination of
the sale, as they do today.
This
transition was part of Ohio’s effort to become a full member of the
Streamlined Sales Tax Project, a multi-state effort to harmonize sales tax
rules across state lines and simplify compliance for multistate
businesses. For years, the multistate group required states to move to
destination sourcing in order to become full members. But in December
2007, the Governing Board of the Streamlined Sales Tax Project decided to
allow “origin states” to become a full member of the organization starting
in 2010 as long as at least four other “origin states” are also ready to
become full members.
Merchants who switched to the new destination sourcing system and who will
now be switching back per H.B. 429 will eventually be eligible for
compensation of up to $1,000 (for mandatory switches to destination
sourcing) and $600 (for voluntary switches). The compensation won’t be
available until July 1, 2009 at the earliest.
