When it comes to sales tax exemption certificates, Ohio is a little different than some of the other states. For example, use of Ohio’s business tax forms is not mandatory when claiming an exemption. There are several types of exemption certificates that can be used in Ohio, depending on what kind of purchase is being made.

A unit exemption certificate is used to claim exemption or exception on a single purchase. A blanket certificate is used to make continuing claims of exemption or exception on purchases from the same vendor or seller. This type of certificate must be presented to the Clerk of Courts when applying for title to the motor vehicle, off-highway motorcycle or all-purpose vehicle. The Certificate of Resale must be presented to the Clerk of Courts when applying for title if you want to apply for title on the purchase and will be exempt from taxes.

The contractor who provided the Construction Contract Exemption Certificate is protected from liability. The contractor’s certificate can be used in the event that it no longer qualifies for exemption, with a potential liability assumed by the contractee.

The Multiple Points of Use Exemption Certificate is signed by the vendor or seller, not the contractor and provides no protection to the contractor on audit.

Resale Certificates can be used by businesses and consumers of services or software; they are available on Ohio Department of Taxation Website: tax.ohio.gov, under “Tax Forms” link). Ohio accepts Uniform Sales and Use Tax Certificate as form of valid exemption certificate; it is limited to use claiming exemption-based resale or when item purchased is incorporated into product for sale (e.g., raw material). The certificate should include description of items being purchased, quantity, unit price, and total purchase price.

What is a Ohio resale sales tax exemption certificate?

There are certain purchases or rentals that can be made without paying sales tax. Some examples are nails, fabric, and wood incorporated into a chair; items which will be rented out as real property or tangible personal property; and services that will be resold.

How do I get a Ohio resale tax exemption certificate?

When it comes to getting a Ohio resale sales tax exemption certificate, there are a few things that vendors need to know. First, vendors don’t need to request one from purchasers. The invoice should clearly identify exempt items. The annual resale certification is only valid for items that are exempt from tax based on their use. That means that if you purchase something for personal use but then later sell it as part of your business, you can use this certificate for those transactions.

To make the form valid, the purchaser doesn’t need to highlight any of the bullet points. All that is required is to fill out the form and sign it. Keep in mind though that the address on the certificate does not need to match up with your company’s location address; it just needs to have your proper business name listed and be current.

An Annual Resale Certificate can be accepted by a selling dealer if it has only one owner and no d/b/a. This type of certificate is valid for any type of transaction (store, e-commerce). The selling dealer can also continue to sell tax exempt products to this customer (for example, on charge account or cash-on delivery basis).

If a reseller certificate is submitted by the business, supplier, or the provider of the service or goods, is authorized not the charge any sales tax, and the liability of sales tax, then lies with the re-seller, based on the value of the final sales. Ex. $100 worth of products are sold by business A. The reseller certificate (2A) was submitted by reseller b (2A). No sales tax is charged on this transaction. However, if the reseller sells the product for $200 or more, the $200 sales tax will be added to the final sales.

There are 2 ways of sharing a reseller’s certificate by the reseller, this can be achieved, either through submitting an existing reseller certificate to the business or, by creating a reseller certificate on third-party platforms such as Avalara, Tax-exempt, etc.

Ohio is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States. Of the fifty U.S. states, it is the 34th-largest by area, and with a population of nearly 11.8 million, is the seventh-most populous and tenth-most densely populated. The state’s capital and largest city is Columbus, with the Columbus metro area, Greater Cincinnati, and Greater Cleveland being the largest metropolitan areas. Ohio is bordered by Lake Erie to the north, Pennsylvania to the east, West Virginia to the southeast, Kentucky to the southwest, Indiana to the west, and Michigan to the northwest. Ohio is historically known as the “Buckeye State” after its Ohio buckeye trees, and Ohioans are also known as “Buckeyes”. Its state flag is the only non-rectangular flag of all the U.S. states.

The state takes its name from the Ohio River, whose name in turn originated from the Seneca word ohiːyo, meaning “good river”, “great river”, or “large creek”. Ohio arose from the lands west of Appalachia that were contested from colonial times through the Northwest Indian Wars of the late 18th century. It was partitioned from the resulting Northwest Territory, which was the first frontier of the new United States, and became the 17th state admitted to the Union on March 1, 1803, and the first under the Northwest Ordinance. Ohio was the first post-colonial free state admitted to the union, and became one of the earliest and most influential industrial powerhouses during the 20th century. Although Ohio has transitioned to a more information- and service-based economy in the 21st century, it remains an industrial state, ranking seventh in GDP as of 2019, with the third largest manufacturing sector and second largest automobile production.
