The business world moves fast, and Ohio isn’t standing still. If you’re running a business in the Buckeye State or have employees there, you’ve probably heard about the Ohio Commercial Activity Tax (CAT).
It’s not exactly new, but the rules of the game are about to change significantly. Starting January 1, 2024, Ohio rolled out major revisions to the CAT, and if you’re not paying attention, you could miss out on some serious savings or even get caught off guard by unexpected tax bills.

Instead of one blanket license, you’ll need specific licenses and permits based on your business type, location, and activities.
