How to register for a sales tax permit in Ohio
Sidr Tax creates the sales tax account for you. However, this state requires that you have your own login and we access your account as a third-party.
After Sidr Tax applies for a sales tax permit on your behalf, you will find your Ohio sales tax ID and filing frequency in the registration details.
You will also receive your Ohio sales tax ID, and filing frequency in the mail.
Once you receive your sales tax ID, and filing frequency, you can create a login at Ohio Business Gateway. Ohio Business Gateway provides functionality to access business accounts in Ohio. However, please note that sales tax accounts are separately managed by Ohio Tax eServices, which we will cover later.
You will need to first create an Ohio ID to access the Ohio Business Gateway. Follow the prompt until the Ohio ID is created.
Once you finish creating the Ohio ID, you will be sent to the Ohio Business Gateway. Enter your business info to send an access request.
Alternatively, if you land on the dashboard home page, please click Request Business Access.
Please let us know once you have requested business access, and we will grant you access from our end.
Once you have gotten access to your business from us, you can continue to create an Ohio Tax eServices login. Ohio Tax eServices is used to manage your sales tax account.
Select your business.
Your sales tax account should be available after you select your business.
If you don't see your sales tax account, please follow the rest of the steps in the official Ohio guide to Request Access to a Business Account.
