Ohio Sales Tax Attorney
Ohio's Department of Taxation uses NAICS code-based industry targeting to select businesses for audit, with manufacturing exemptions and the taxability of services being the most contested areas. Ohio also has an active use tax program targeting businesses that purchased goods out of state without paying Ohio tax.

A bad audit result is not final. We challenge assessments through the Ohio administrative process and into court if necessary.

When administrative options are exhausted, we take it to court. Sales tax litigation in Ohio requires attorneys who know exactly how these cases are tried.
Learn More →Voluntary Disclosure
Undisclosed Ohio sales tax exposure does not have to become an audit. A VDA resolves the past with reduced penalties before the state finds you first.
