It has been five years since Ohio elected to move away from its more traditional, net income and net worth based corporate franchise tax to the commercial activity tax, or CAT. In addition to the CAT, in recent years a number of states have made significant changes to their income and franchise tax regimes, which has created a complex and arduous landscape for companies' state income tax compliance departments to navigate through. This teleconference will provide some relief, at least in terms of understanding Ohio's current tax landscape, by providing taxpayers a concise review of the structure and primary elements of the CAT, now that it is fully phased in, as well as a discussion and analysis of what distinguishes it from some of the other significant state tax developments occurring in recent years, such as the implementation of the MBT and Texas Margin Tax. The teleconference also will provide some insight on how the current economic climate and pending administrative and case law developments might impact the CAT going forward. Anyone desiring a comprehensive update of the Ohio CAT, how it aligns with other states' gross receipts-based taxes and what important developments we can expect to see with respect to the CAT in the near future should attend this program.
