Incentives and Tax Reform

When you locate in Ohio, you'll build a profitable business.

The result of a significant tax reform, Ohio has substantially lowered the cost of doing business in the state - with the lowest taxes in the Midwest by 2010.

Ohio's comparable rankings to state competitors will dramatically improve with the 2010 conclusion of the state's five-year tax reform plan. Ohio will become even more competitive, not only when compared with primary coastal markets, but also among the cohort of states with which Ohio routinely vies for business.

Ohio's favorable business climate and high quality of living, combined with low business and personal costs, make the state an increasingly viable location for business growth.

To supplement Ohio’s already low cost of doing business, the state boasts an impressive menu of incentive offerings to attract and retain business. State and local tax incentives, grants and low-interest financing offer businesses the opportunity to reduce risk while encouraging investment in Ohio.
