Staffing agencies headquartered in Ohio place workers into both. What sets Ohio apart is its municipal income tax system: cities like Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati each set their own local income tax rate, and employers generally withhold based on where the work is performed, not just where the business is registered. Combined with the state's gross-receipts-style commercial activity tax replacing a traditional corporate income tax, Ohio bookkeeping needs city-by-city attention. Eastern Time (ET). Our US team works 8am to 8pm ET, covering the entire Ohio business day live. ## Ohio tax and compliance notes ### Commercial activity tax Ohio replaced its corporate income tax with the commercial activity tax, a tax on gross receipts above an annual threshold rather than net profit. Businesses need clean revenue tracking since deductions for expenses generally do not apply. ### Municipal income taxes Most Ohio cities, including Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati, levy their own local income tax on wages earned within city limits, separate from the state's own income tax. Employers with workers in multiple cities need withholding tracked by work location. ### State and local sales tax Ohio's state sales tax rate is 5.75%, and counties add their own rate on top, producing combined rates that typically land between 6.5% and 8%. Retailers need the correct county rate applied by location. General notes, not advice. Filing is done by you, your CPA, accountant or registered agent; we prepare the workings. ## Industries we serve in Ohio - **[Manufacturing](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/manufacturing/)** Ohio's auto parts and industrial manufacturing base needs inventory and supplier costs tracked accurately across long-term contracts. - **[Trucking and logistics](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/trucking/)** Columbus's central location makes it a major logistics hub, so trucking and freight companies need load-level reconciliation daily. - **[Construction](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/construction/)** Growth around Columbus and Cincinnati keeps contractors busy, and job costing needs to track permits and subcontractor draws by project. - **[Staffing agencies](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/staffing/)** Several national staffing firms are headquartered in Ohio, and weekly payroll and client invoicing need to reconcile without delay. - **[Retail](https://ledgerbpo.com/industries/retail/)** Several major retail corporate headquarters call Ohio home, and daily sales need reconciling against city-by-city local tax rates. ## Software Ohio businesses use - [QuickBooks Online](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/quickbooks-online/) - [Xero](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/xero/) - [Gusto](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/gusto/) - [Bill.com](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/bill-com/) - [NetSuite](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/netsuite/) - [All 50 platforms](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/) ## Services for Ohio businesses - [Bookkeeping](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/bookkeeping/) - [Invoicing and billing](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/invoicing-and-billing/) - [Accounts receivable](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/accounts-receivable/) - [Accounts payable](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/accounts-payable/) - [Bank reconciliation](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/bank-reconciliation/) - [Month end close](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/month-end-close/) - [All 84 services](https://ledgerbpo.com/services/) ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you have an office in Ohio?
