Read MoreDo ATVs and utility vehicles fall under the sales tax exemption for agriculture? It depends, according to Leah Curtis, Ohio Farm Bureau’s director of agricultural law.
Under Ohio law, the agricultural sales tax exemption applies to most items that will be directly used, consumed or incorporated in the production of agricultural products for sale.
“ATV and utility vehicles are more tricky, and there tends to be more questioning of those purchases (by the tax department),” Curtis said.
Examples of when the ag sales tax exemption applies:
Examples of when the exemption does not apply:
If there is a dispute over the sales tax, the tax department will send a letter asking for more information about how the landowner is using the vehicle for agricultural production and then send a follow-up letter with its determination. Landowners can appeal that decision with the tax department. If it reaches the tax appeals board level, Curtis suggests landowners hire an attorney to make sure they have all the necessary documentation.
If a farmer believes a retailer collected sales tax in error, there is a process to file for a refund with the state of Ohio. Go to ofb.ag/Jan2016BFN for information on this process.
