In line with current recommendations from the Counsel on State Taxation, the state of Ohio has updated its laws regarding bad debt deductions on sales tax returns to allow states to take a credit for tax remitted for a transaction made with a private label credit card that is in default. The resulting deduction keeps businesses from paying sales tax out of pocket on a transaction where they and their private label credit issuer did not receive the sales tax from the customer.
