Tax-exempt customers Some customers are exempt from paying sales tax under Ohio law. Examples include government agencies, some nonprofit organizations, and merchants purchasing goods for resale. Sellers are required to collect a valid exemption or resale certificate from buyers to validate each exempt transaction.
Retainage limits On public construction projects in Ohio, the amount of retainage is capped at no more than 8% of the total contract value. However, when the project reaches 50% completion and satisfactory progress is being made, no more retainage may be withheld for the remainder of the project.
