Does Commercial Activity Tax Apply to Soap Bars Warehoused in Ohio?
VVF Intervest LLC v. Patricia Harris, tax commissioner of Ohio, Case No. 2023-1296
Ohio Board of Tax Appeals
ISSUES:
- Is a company obligated to pay Ohio commercial activity tax on goods transported to Ohio and then ultimately transported to customers outside Ohio if the out-of-state transfer isn't specified in sales documentation?
- To avoid paying commercial activity tax, must a company have proof at the time of sale that its products will be transported to Ohio temporarily and then distributed out of state?
