§ 5751.03. Computation of tax; credit if funds transferred to commercial activity tax refund fund.
 

(A)  Except as provided in divisions (B) and (D) of this section and in sections 5751.031 [5751.03.1] and 5751.032 [5751.03.2] of the Revised Code, the tax levied under this section for each tax period shall be the product of two and six-tenths mills per dollar times the remainder of the taxpayer's taxable gross receipts for the tax period after subtracting the exclusion amount provided for in division (C) of this section. 

(B)  Notwithstanding division (C) of this section, the tax on the first one million dollars in taxable gross receipts each calendar year shall be one hundred fifty dollars. For calendar year 2006, the tax imposed under this division shall be paid not later than May 10, 2006, by both calendar year taxpayers and calendar quarter taxpayers. For calendar year 2007 and thereafter, the tax imposed under this division shall be paid with the fourth-quarter tax return or annual tax return for the prior calendar year by both calendar year taxpayers and calendar quarter taxpayers. 

(C) (1)  Each calendar quarter taxpayer may exclude the first two hundred fifty thousand dollars of taxable gross receipts for a calendar quarter and may carry forward and apply any unused exclusion amount to the three subsequent calendar quarters. Each calendar year taxpayer may exclude the first one million dollars of taxable gross receipts for a calendar year. 

(2) A taxpayer switching from a calendar year tax period to a calendar quarter tax period may, for the first quarter of the change, apply the prior calendar quarter exclusion amounts to the first calendar quarter return the taxpayer files that calendar year. The tax rate shall be based on the rate imposed that calendar quarter when the taxpayer switches from a calendar year to a calendar quarter tax period. 

(D)  There is hereby allowed a credit against the tax imposed under this chapter for each of the following calendar years if a transfer was made in the preceding calendar year from the general revenue fund to the commercial activity tax refund fund under division (D) of section 5751.032 [5751.03.2] of the Revised Code: calendar years 2008, 2010, and 2012. The credit is allowed for taxpayers that paid in full the tax imposed under this chapter for the calendar year in which the transfer was made. The amount of a taxpayer's credit equals the amount computed under division (D) of section 5751.032 [5751.03.2] of the Revised Code.
