Ohio layers city income tax on top of state rates and a gross receipts tax on all businesses. Columbus owners doing $500K+ have multiple angles for optimization.
OH has no flat income tax but graduated rates up to 3.5%. OH Commercial Activity Tax (CAT) on gross receipts over $150K.
Columbus city income tax of 2.5% on earned income. OH CAT (0.26% of gross receipts over $1M) applies statewide.
A Columbus professional services firm with $2.3M in revenue was paying full CAT and city income tax with no optimization. After S-Corp election, entity restructuring, and a defined benefit plan, annual savings reached $54,000.
