How to Collect Sales Tax in New Albany

Ohio uses origin-based sales tax sourcing for intrastate sales and destination-based sales tax sourcing for interstate sales. This applies to New Albany as well. 

So, there are two types of sales tax collection depending on the origin of the sale:

• Intrastate sales: A sale is considered intrastate when the origin and the buyer's address originate from Ohio.
  
  If you make a sale originating in Ohio and the buyer’s ship-to address is also in Ohio, you should charge the sales tax rate of the sale originating point. 

So, let’s say your business is in New Albany, Ohio, and you sell to a buyer in Coshocton, Ohio. In that case, you should charge the buyer the sales tax rate at your New Albany location.

• Interstate sales: A sale is interstate if the item ships from outside Ohio and the seller isn’t “engaged in a business” in the state. Then, you should charge the sales tax rate at your buyer’s location. 

For instance, if your business is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and you sell to a buyer in New Albany, Ohio — you should charge the buyer the sales tax in New Albany.
