  • State Use Tax - An Expensive Tax Trap Small Businesses May Not Know About
    2023/01/30

    In this month’s edition of The More Report Podcast Edition, Jonathan C. Wolnik discusses Ohio use tax and why it can be an expensive tax trap for small businesses. State use tax is generally owed by the purchaser of tangible personal property or services when the vendor does not collect sales tax, assuming the transaction is taxable. Sales tax is often omitted in the context of purchases from out of state vendors who may be unfamiliar with various state and county tax rates applicable in Ohio. It is important to know when state sales tax is omitted from a sale and timely file a use tax return when applicable. Small businesses owners are likely to benefit from Jonathan's informative overview of Ohio use tax.

  • David Cuppage Breaks Down the Principal of Eminent Domain
    2022/01/19

    Season 2 Premiere!

    The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is now law, and the nearly $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan is on the verge of kicking off government construction projects from coast to coast.  When the Government invests in construction, it usually means they need to acquire some land to build on -- which is where eminent domain comes in.  Anticipating this issue will rise in prominence in the coming months and years, David Cuppage joins us for our Season 2 Premiere to talk about eminent domain and the options that property owners have to make sure they don't get fleeced in the process. 

    Here is the link to David's blog post mentioned in this episode:  https://www.mccarthylebit.com/2021/12/16/eminent-domain-litigation-challenges/

    COMING UP ON THE MORE REPORT, PODCAST EDITION: As the real estate and construction industries are heating up once again, project development is taking center stage, and for many of America's "downtown USAs" that means redevelopment, which can have impact on surrounding properties, especially if the government needs to appropriate some of that property to widen a road, add traffic access, or for some other purpose.  We'll share some thoughts on eminent domain law, particularly in Ohio, and what legal recourse may await those who fight against a land taking.
