Cincinnati tax and compliance notes
Municipal income tax
Cincinnati levies its own municipal income tax on wages earned and net profits made within city limits, collected separately from the Ohio state return.
State sales tax
Ohio's state sales tax combines with Hamilton County's local rate, so a Cincinnati retailer's point-of-sale system needs the county-specific total applied.
No corporate income tax
Ohio does not levy a traditional corporate income tax, replacing it with a Commercial Activity Tax based on gross receipts, which changes how a Cincinnati company plans its filings.
General notes, not advice. Filing is done by you, your CPA, accountant or registered agent; we prepare the workings.
