Ohio Business Gateway: An Easy Way for Businesses to Meet Registration and Tax O
Ohio business taxpayers can now obtain commercial activity ax, sales tax and withholding registrations and licenses within a matter of minutes by applying for them through the Ohio Business Gateway (OBG). The availability of the commercial activity tax (CAT) registration, operational as of July 1, 2005, provides businesses a simple and effective way to meet the CAT registration deadline of November 15, 2005. OBG is a collaborative initiative of state and local government agencies and an important part of Ohio's digital government strategy. OBG's "Electronic Filing Services" offer Ohio's businesses a time- and money-saving online filing and payment system that helps simplify business' relationship with government agencies. Ohio businesses can use OBG to submit selected filings, registrations, and payments with the state's Department of Taxation, Bureau of Workers' Compensation, Department of Job and Family Services, and Department of Commerce. OBG also partners with local governments to enable businesses to file and pay selected Ohio municipal income taxes.
To use OBG, simply log on to obg.ohio.gov. Taxpayers can then apply for the following business tax registrations/licenses administered by the Ohio Department of Taxation (ODT): § Commercial Activity Tax ($15) § Ohio Employer Withholding (No Fee) § Ohio School District Employer Withholding (No Fee) § Regular (County) Sales Tax Vendor License ($25) § Delivery Sales Tax Vendor License ($25) § Transient Sales Tax Vendor License ($25) § Service Sales Tax Vendor License ($25) § Consumer’s Use Tax Registration (No Fee) § Out-of-State Seller’s Use Tax Registration (No Fee) The taxpayer will then complete the online registration form, make any payments needed via Automated Clearing House (ACH) and immediately print the license/registration number and confirmations. To register for any other tax types administered by ODT, please contact the department at 1-888-405-4039. Applications that require a fee must include payment at the time of the registration process so a registration/license can be issued. The fee must be paid by ACH, which requires an account number and routing number from the applicant’s checking or savings account. Credit cards are currently not accepted for registration.
Taxpayers will also need the following information to complete tax registrations: Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), if applicable. To apply for a FEIN, go to www.irs.ustreas.gov/businesses.
