Ohio Tax Department Updates Direct Payment Authority Program for Businesses

The Ohio Department of Taxation has announced an update to its Direct Payment Authority Program, which enables eligible businesses to pay sales and use taxes directly to the state, rather than through vendors or sellers. The program requires permit holders to enter into agreements with the Department outlining compliance requirements, undergo periodic reviews, typically every four years, to validate their continued eligibility, and maintain accurate record-keeping systems that allow for proper determination of tax liability.
