Ohio Department of Taxation Online Services: Business Taxes

Sales Tax Electronic Filing Workshop Presentations

Ohio vendors are switching to electronic filing of sales tax returns, and to help make the transition smoothly, the Ohio Department of Taxation hosted a series of free workshops in Cincinnati, Akron, Columbus and Bowling Green between Feb. 3 - Feb. 10, 2009.

The presentations from these workshops are now available below in a PDF format. Topics presented includes sales tax electronic filing, commercial activity tax electronic filing, help resources available through the department's Taxpayer Services locations, and information about filing through the Ohio Business Gateway. Please bookmark this page for reference, since additional presentations on these topics may be posted later.
