Abstract
The Bloomberg Tax Portfolio, Ohio Commercial Activity Tax gives a detailed discussion of the entities or “persons” subject to the CAT. It also discusses the federal and state constitutional limitations imposed on the state's power to levy the CAT, as well as analyzes the applicability of federal statutory limitation Pub. L. No. 86–272 to Ohio's power to assess the CAT.
The author provides a comprehensive overview of how to compute the CAT, and thoroughly covers the situsing rules that apply to various sales, leases, and services. Credits that may be claimed against the CAT are also discussed.
In addition, the Portfolio addresses the filing requirements that apply to combined taxpayer groups, common owners, and consolidated elected taxpayer groups.
