Municipal tax reform brings simpler compliance
OSCPA’s top legislative priority for years has been achieving meaningful reforms to Ohio’s municipal tax structure—the most complicated in the nation. In 2017, OSCPA worked with Ohio leaders and the Municipal Tax Reform Coalition to pass additional, pro-business reforms that reduce costs and red tape, making it easier for taxpayers to comply with filing requirements.
Business taxpayers who file net profits returns in more than one municipality can opt in to file one central return through the Ohio Business Gateway and make estimated quarterly payments.
