The Buckeye Institute: Suspending the CAT Will Help Ohio’s Economy
In Policy Solutions for the Pandemic: Suspending the CAT Will Help Ohio’s Economy, The Buckeye Institute urges policymakers to suspend collection Ohio’s commercial activities tax (CAT) for the next year to aid the state’s economic recovery, writing, “Ohio’s commercial activities tax makes it harder for struggling businesses to survive and grow…To help ensure their survival, the state should suspend collecting the CAT in the short-term, and consider replacing it with a broader, fairer consumption-based tax in the long-term.”
