The DOT is reminding sales and use tax practitioners and taxpayers that the September 2024 monthly sales and use tax returns and third quarter 2024 use tax returns are due Oct. 23, 2024. Returns must be filed for each period the account is active. 

Taxpayers are required to file sales and use tax returns electronically via the Ohio Business Gateway. Alternatively, taxpayers may file sales tax returns for county vendor’s licenses (vendor’s license numbers beginning 01-88) through TeleFile by calling 800.697.0440.

The Ohio Department of Taxation is also reminding all CAT practitioners and taxpayers that the third quarter 2024 CAT return is due Nov. 12, 2024. If you anticipate having $3 million or less in taxable gross receipts in tax year 2024, DOT recommends cancelling your CAT account by visiting the Ohio Business Gateway and selecting the CAT Cancel Account transaction. When canceling your account, enter an effective date of Sept. 30, 2024. 

Taxpayers are required to file and pay the CAT electronically via the Ohio Business Gateway.
