Tax reform

Making a commitment to eliminate a burdensome tax system, Ohio in 2005 implemented full-scale, sweeping tax reform.

Ohio's new business taxation model will mean a reduction in tax burden of up to 63 percent by 2010, the first year reform is fully implemented.

Consider the following example:

Ohio's new taxation system mean businesses can:

  • Reduce operating costs – No tax on inventory or corporate income
  • Enhance productivity – No tax on investments in machinery and equipment
  • Attract talent – Shrink labor costs through a 21 percent reduction in personal income tax
  • Enjoy a level playing field – All companies taxed the same low rate
  • Boost return on investment – No tax on product sold to customers outside Ohio
  • Reward entrepreneurship – First $1 million in gross receipts are tax-free
