any tax as required by this chapter. The commissioner shall give | 286 |

in section 5703.37 of the Revised Code. With the notice, the | 288 |
commissioner shall provide instructions on the manner in which to | 289 |
petition for reassessment and request a hearing with respect to | 290 |
the petition. | 291 |
(B) Unless the person assessed, within sixty days after | 292 |
service of the notice of assessment, files with the commissioner, | 293 |
either personally or by certified mail, a written petition signed | 294 |
by the person or the person's authorized agent having knowledge of | 295 |
the facts, the assessment becomes final, and the amount of the | 296 |
assessment is due and payable from the person assessed to the | 297 |
treasurer of state. The petition shall indicate the objections of | 298 |
the person assessed, but additional objections may be raised in | 299 |
writing if received by the commissioner prior to the date shown on | 300 |
the final determination. | 301 |
If a petition for reassessment has been properly filed, the | 302 |
commissioner shall proceed under section 5703.60 of the Revised | 303 |
Code. | 304 |
(C)(1) After an assessment becomes final, if any portion of | 305 |
the assessment, including accrued interest, remains unpaid, a | 306 |
certified copy of the commissioner's entry making the assessment | 307 |
final may be filed in the office of the clerk of the court of | 308 |
common pleas in the county in which the person resides or has its | 309 |
principal place of business in this state, or in the office of the | 310 |
clerk of court of common pleas of Franklin county. | 311 |
(2) Immediately upon the filing of the entry, the clerk shall | 312 |
enter judgment for the state against the person assessed in the | 313 |
amount shown on the entry. The judgment may be filed by the clerk | 314 |
in a loose-leaf book entitled, "special judgments for the | 315 |
316 | |
effect as other judgments. Execution shall issue upon the judgment | 317 |
at the request of the commissioner, and all laws applicable to | 318 |
sales on execution shall apply to sales made under the judgment. | 319 |
(3) If the assessment is not paid in its entirety within | 320 |
sixty days after the day the assessment was issued, the portion of | 321 |
the assessment consisting of tax due shall bear interest at the | 322 |
rate per annum prescribed by section 5703.47 of the Revised Code | 323 |
from the day the commissioner issues the assessment until it is | 324 |
paid or until it is certified to the attorney general for | 325 |
collection under section 131.02 of the Revised Code, whichever | 326 |
comes first. If the unpaid portion of the assessment is certified | 327 |
to the attorney general for collection, the entire unpaid portion | 328 |
of the assessment shall bear interest at the rate per annum | 329 |
prescribed by section 5703.47 of the Revised Code from the date of | 330 |
certification until the date it is paid in its entirety. Interest | 331 |
shall be paid in the same manner as the tax and may be collected | 332 |
by the issuance of an assessment under this section. | 333 |
(D) If the commissioner believes that collection of the tax | 334 |
will be jeopardized unless proceedings to collect or secure | 335 |
collection of the tax are instituted without delay, the | 336 |
commissioner may issue a jeopardy assessment against the person | 337 |
liable for the tax. Immediately upon the issuance of the jeopardy | 338 |
assessment, the commissioner shall file an entry with the clerk of | 339 |
the court of common pleas in the manner prescribed by division (C) | 340 |
of this section. Notice of the jeopardy assessment shall be served | 341 |
on the person assessed or the person's authorized agent in the | 342 |
manner provided in section 5703.37 of the Revised Code within five | 343 |
days of the filing of the entry with the clerk. The total amount | 344 |
assessed is immediately due and payable, unless the person | 345 |
assessed files a petition for reassessment in accordance with | 346 |
division (B) of this section and provides security in a form | 347 |
satisfactory to the commissioner and in an amount sufficient to | 348 |
satisfy the unpaid balance of the assessment. Full or partial | 349 |
payment of the assessment does not prejudice the commissioner's | 350 |
consideration of the petition for reassessment. | 351 |
(E) The commissioner shall immediately forward to the | 352 |
treasurer of state all amounts the commissioner receives under | 353 |
this section, and such amounts shall be considered as revenue | 354 |
arising from the tax imposed under this chapter. | 355 |
(F) Except as otherwise provided in this division, no | 356 |
assessment shall be made or issued against a taxpayer for the tax | 357 |
imposed under this chapter more than four years after the due date | 358 |
for the filing of the return for the tax period for which the tax | 359 |
was reported, or more than four years after the return for the tax | 360 |
period was filed, whichever is later. The time limit may be | 361 |
extended if both the taxpayer and the commissioner consent in | 362 |
writing to the extension or enter into an agreement waiving or | 363 |
extending the time limit. Any such extension shall extend the | 364 |
four-year time limit in division (A) of section 5736.08 of the | 365 |
Revised Code for the same period of time. Nothing in this division | 366 |
bars an assessment against a taxpayer that fails to file a return | 367 |
required by this chapter or that files a fraudulent return. | 368 |
(G) If the commissioner possesses information that indicates | 369 |
that the amount of tax a taxpayer is required to pay under this | 370 |
chapter exceeds the amount the taxpayer paid, the commissioner may | 371 |
audit a sample of the taxpayer's modified gross receipts over a | 372 |
representative period of time to ascertain the amount of tax due, | 373 |
and may issue an assessment based on the audit. The commissioner | 374 |
shall make a good faith effort to reach agreement with the | 375 |
taxpayer in selecting a representative sample. The commissioner | 376 |
may apply a sampling method only if the commissioner has | 377 |
prescribed the method by rule. | 378 |
(H) If the whereabouts of a person subject to this chapter is | 379 |
not known to the commissioner, the commissioner shall follow the | 380 |
procedures under section 5703.37 of the Revised Code. | 381 |
Sec. 5736.13. (A) For the purpose of receiving, accounting | 382 |
for, and distributing revenue received from the tax imposed by | 383 |

palladium delivered to a refining facility solely for refining to | 697 |
a grade and fineness acceptable for delivery to a registered | 698 |
commodities exchange. "Further shipping" includes storing and | 699 |
repackaging property into smaller or larger bundles, so long as | 700 |
the property is not subject to further manufacturing or | 701 |
processing. "Refining" is limited to extracting impurities from | 702 |
gold, silver, platinum, or palladium through smelting or some | 703 |
other process at a refining facility. | 704 |
(III) "Qualified distribution center" means a warehouse, a | 705 |
facility similar to a warehouse, or a refining facility in this | 706 |
state that, for the qualifying year, is operated by a person that | 707 |
is not part of a combined taxpayer group and that has a qualifying | 708 |
certificate. All warehouses or facilities similar to warehouses | 709 |
that are operated by persons in the same taxpayer group and that | 710 |

qualifying certificate applies. | 717 |
(V) "Qualifying period" means the period of the first day of | 718 |

distribution center on or before the first day of September before | 725 |
the qualifying year or within forty-five days after the | 726 |
distribution center opens, whichever is later. | 727 |
The applicant must substantiate to the commissioner's | 728 |
satisfaction that, for the qualifying period, all persons | 729 |
operating the distribution center have more than fifty per cent of | 730 |
the cost of the qualified property shipped to a location such that | 731 |
it would be sitused outside this state under the provisions of | 732 |
division (E) of section 5751.033 of the Revised Code. The | 733 |
applicant must also substantiate that the distribution center | 734 |
cumulatively had costs from its suppliers equal to or exceeding | 735 |
five hundred million dollars during the qualifying period. (For | 736 |
purposes of division (F)(2)(z)(i)(VI) of this section, "supplier" | 737 |
excludes any person that is part of the consolidated elected | 738 |
taxpayer group, if applicable, of the operator of the qualified | 739 |
distribution center.) The commissioner may require the applicant | 740 |
to have an independent certified public accountant certify that | 741 |
the calculation of the minimum thresholds required for a qualified | 742 |
distribution center by the operator of a distribution center has | 743 |
been made in accordance with generally accepted accounting | 744 |
principles. The commissioner shall issue or deny the issuance of a | 745 |
certificate within sixty days after the receipt of the | 746 |
application. A denial is subject to appeal under section 5717.02 | 747 |
of the Revised Code. If the operator files a timely appeal under | 748 |
section 5717.02 of the Revised Code, the operator shall be granted | 749 |
a qualifying certificate effective for the remainder of the | 750 |
qualifying year or until the appeal is finalized, whichever is | 751 |

operator shall pay the ineligible operator's supplier tax | 753 |
liability. | 754 |
(VII) "Ohio delivery percentage" means the proportion of the | 755 |
total property delivered to a destination inside Ohio from the | 756 |
qualified distribution center during the qualifying period | 757 |
compared with total deliveries from such distribution center | 758 |
everywhere during the qualifying period. | 759 |
(VIII) "Refining facility" means one or more buildings | 760 |
located in a county in the Appalachian region of this state as | 761 |
defined by section 107.21 of the Revised Code and utilized for | 762 |

amount equal to the tax liability of all suppliers of a | 772 |
distribution center had the distribution center not been issued a | 773 |
qualifying certificate for the qualifying year. Ineligible | 774 |
operator's supplier tax liability shall not include interest or | 775 |
penalties. The tax commissioner shall determine an ineligible | 776 |
operator's supplier tax liability based on information that the | 777 |
commissioner may request from the operator of the distribution | 778 |
center. An operator shall provide a list of all suppliers of the | 779 |
distribution center and the corresponding costs of qualified | 780 |
property for the qualifying year at issue within sixty days of a | 781 |
request by the commissioner under this division. | 782 |
(ii)(I) If the distribution center is new and was not open | 783 |
for the entire qualifying period, the operator of the distribution | 784 |
center may request that the commissioner grant a qualifying | 785 |
certificate. If the certificate is granted and it is later | 786 |
determined that more than fifty per cent of the qualified property | 787 |
during that year was not shipped to a location such that it would | 788 |
be sitused outside of this state under the provisions of division | 789 |
(E) of section 5751.033 of the Revised Code or if it is later | 790 |
determined that the person that operates the distribution center | 791 |
had average monthly costs from its suppliers of less than forty | 792 |
million dollars during that year, then the operator of the | 793 |
distribution center shall pay the ineligible operator's supplier | 794 |
tax liability. (For purposes of division (F)(2)(z)(ii) of this | 795 |
section, "supplier" excludes any person that is part of the | 796 |
consolidated elected taxpayer group, if applicable, of the | 797 |
operator of the qualified distribution center.) | 798 |
(II) The commissioner may grant a qualifying certificate to a | 799 |
distribution center that does not qualify as a qualified | 800 |
distribution center for an entire qualifying period if the | 801 |
operator of the distribution center demonstrates that the business | 802 |
operations of the distribution center have changed or will change | 803 |
such that the distribution center will qualify as a qualified | 804 |
distribution center within thirty-six months after the date the | 805 |
operator first applies for a certificate. If, at the end of that | 806 |
thirty-six-month period, the business operations of the | 807 |
distribution center have not changed such that the distribution | 808 |
center qualifies as a qualified distribution center, the operator | 809 |
of the distribution center shall pay the ineligible operator's | 810 |
supplier tax liability for each year that the distribution center | 811 |
received a certificate but did not qualify as a qualified | 812 |
distribution center. For each year the distribution center | 813 |
receives a certificate under division (F)(2)(z)(ii)(II) of this | 814 |
section, the distribution center shall pay all applicable fees | 815 |
required under division (F)(2)(z) of this section and shall submit | 816 |
an updated business plan showing the progress the distribution | 817 |
center made toward qualifying as a qualified distribution center | 818 |
during the preceding year. | 819 |
(III) An operator may appeal a determination under division | 820 |
(F)(2)(z)(ii)(I) or (II) of this section that the ineligible | 821 |
operator is liable for the operator's supplier tax liability as a | 822 |
result of not qualifying as a qualified distribution center, as | 823 |
provided in section 5717.02 of the Revised Code. | 824 |
(iii) When filing an application for a qualifying certificate | 825 |
under division (F)(2)(z)(i)(VI) of this section, the operator of a | 826 |
qualified distribution center also shall provide documentation, as | 827 |
the commissioner requires, for the commissioner to ascertain the | 828 |
Ohio delivery percentage. The commissioner, upon issuing the | 829 |
qualifying certificate, also shall certify the Ohio delivery | 830 |
percentage. The operator of the qualified distribution center may | 831 |
appeal the commissioner's certification of the Ohio delivery | 832 |
percentage in the same manner as an appeal is taken from the | 833 |

not open for the entire qualifying period, the operator shall make | 837 |
a good faith estimate of an Ohio delivery percentage for use by | 838 |
suppliers in their reports of taxable gross receipts for the | 839 |
remainder of the qualifying period. The operator of the facility | 840 |
shall disclose to the suppliers that such Ohio delivery percentage | 841 |
is an estimate and is subject to recalculation. By the due date of | 842 |
the next application for a qualifying certificate, the operator | 843 |
shall determine the actual Ohio delivery percentage for the | 844 |
estimated qualifying period and proceed as provided in division | 845 |

percentage that the operator estimates will apply to the | 858 |
distribution center at the end of the thirty-six-month period | 859 |
after the operator first applied for a qualifying certificate | 860 |
under that division. The result of the estimate shall be | 861 |
multiplied by a factor of one and seventy-five one-hundredths. The | 862 |
product of that calculation shall be the Ohio delivery percentage | 863 |
used by suppliers in their reports of taxable gross receipts for | 864 |

cent or less of the taxable value of such property listed on the | 1649 |
general tax list of personal property for the next preceding tax | 1650 |
year. | 1651 |
In computing the fixed-rate levy losses under divisions | 1652 |
(D)(1), (2), and (3) of this section for any school district, | 1653 |
joint vocational school district, or local taxing unit to which | 1654 |
division (C)(5) of this section applies, the taxable value of such | 1655 |
property as listed on the general tax list of personal property | 1656 |
for tax year 2000 shall be substituted for the taxable value of | 1657 |
such property as reported by taxpayers for tax year 2004, in the | 1658 |
taxing district containing the uranium facility, if the taxable | 1659 |
value listed for tax year 2000 is greater than the taxable value | 1660 |
reported by taxpayers for tax year 2004. For the purpose of making | 1661 |
the computations under divisions (D)(1), (2), and (3) of this | 1662 |
section, the tax year 2000 valuation is to be allocated to | 1663 |
machinery and equipment, inventory, and furniture and fixtures | 1664 |
property in the same proportions as the tax year 2004 values. For | 1665 |
the purpose of the calculations in division (A) of section 5751.21 | 1666 |
of the Revised Code, the tax year 2004 taxable values shall be | 1667 |
used. | 1668 |
To facilitate the calculations required under division (C) of | 1669 |
this section, the county auditor, upon request from the tax | 1670 |
commissioner, shall provide by August 1, 2005, the values of | 1671 |
machinery and equipment, inventory, and furniture and fixtures for | 1672 |
all single-county personal property taxpayers for tax year 2004. | 1673 |
(D) Not later than September 15, 2005, the tax commissioner | 1674 |
shall determine for each tax year from 2006 through 2009 for each | 1675 |
school district, joint vocational school district, and local | 1676 |
taxing unit its machinery and equipment, inventory, and furniture | 1677 |
and fixtures fixed-rate levy losses, and for each tax year from | 1678 |
2006 through 2011 its telephone property fixed-rate levy loss. | 1679 |
Except as provided in division (F) of this section, such losses | 1680 |
are the applicable amounts described in divisions (D)(1), (2), | 1681 |
(3), and (4) of this section: | 1682 |
(1) The machinery and equipment fixed-rate levy loss is the | 1683 |
machinery and equipment property tax value loss multiplied by the | 1684 |
sum of the tax rates of fixed-rate qualifying levies. | 1685 |
(2) The inventory fixed-rate loss is the inventory property | 1686 |
tax value loss multiplied by the sum of the tax rates of | 1687 |
fixed-rate qualifying levies. | 1688 |
(3) The furniture and fixtures fixed-rate levy loss is the | 1689 |
furniture and fixture property tax value loss multiplied by the | 1690 |
sum of the tax rates of fixed-rate qualifying levies. | 1691 |
(4) The telephone property fixed-rate levy loss is the | 1692 |
telephone property tax value loss multiplied by the sum of the tax | 1693 |
rates of fixed-rate qualifying levies. | 1694 |
(E) Not later than September 15, 2005, the tax commissioner | 1695 |
shall determine for each school district, joint vocational school | 1696 |
district, and local taxing unit its fixed-sum levy loss. The | 1697 |
fixed-sum levy loss is the amount obtained by subtracting the | 1698 |
amount described in division (E)(2) of this section from the | 1699 |
amount described in division (E)(1) of this section: | 1700 |
(1) The sum of the machinery and equipment property tax value | 1701 |
loss, the inventory property tax value loss, and the furniture and | 1702 |
fixtures property tax value loss, and, for 2008 through 2010, the | 1703 |
telephone property tax value loss of the district or unit | 1704 |
multiplied by the sum of the fixed-sum tax rates of qualifying | 1705 |
levies. For 2006 through 2010, this computation shall include all | 1706 |
qualifying levies remaining in effect for the current tax year and | 1707 |
any school district levies charged and payable under section | 1708 |
5705.194 or 5705.213 of the Revised Code that are qualifying | 1709 |
levies not remaining in effect for the current year. For 2011 | 1710 |
through 2017 in the case of school district levies charged and | 1711 |
payable under section 5705.194 or 5705.213 of the Revised Code and | 1712 |
for all years after 2010 in the case of other fixed-sum levies, | 1713 |
this computation shall include only qualifying levies remaining in | 1714 |
effect for the current year. For purposes of this computation, a | 1715 |
qualifying school district levy charged and payable under section | 1716 |
5705.194 or 5705.213 of the Revised Code remains in effect in a | 1717 |
year after 2010 only if, for that year, the board of education | 1718 |
levies a school district levy charged and payable under section | 1719 |
5705.194, 5705.199, 5705.213, or 5705.219 of the Revised Code for | 1720 |
an annual sum at least equal to the annual sum levied by the board | 1721 |
in tax year 2004 less the amount of the payment certified under | 1722 |
this division for 2006. | 1723 |
(2) The total taxable value in tax year 2004 less the sum of | 1724 |
the machinery and equipment, inventory, furniture and fixtures, | 1725 |
and telephone property tax value losses in each school district, | 1726 |
joint vocational school district, and local taxing unit multiplied | 1727 |
by one-half of one mill per dollar. | 1728 |
(3) For the calculations in divisions (E)(1) and (2) of this | 1729 |
section, the tax value losses are those that would be calculated | 1730 |
for tax year 2009 under divisions (C)(1), (2), and (3) of this | 1731 |
section and for tax year 2011 under division (C)(4) of this | 1732 |
section. | 1733 |
(4) To facilitate the calculation under divisions (D) and (E) | 1734 |
of this section, not later than September 1, 2005, any school | 1735 |
district, joint vocational school district, or local taxing unit | 1736 |
that has a qualifying levy that was approved at an election | 1737 |
conducted during 2005 before September 1, 2005, shall certify to | 1738 |
the tax commissioner a copy of the county auditor's certificate of | 1739 |
estimated property tax millage for such levy as required under | 1740 |
division (B) of section 5705.03 of the Revised Code, which is the | 1741 |
rate that shall be used in the calculations under such divisions. | 1742 |
If the amount determined under division (E) of this section | 1743 |
for any school district, joint vocational school district, or | 1744 |
local taxing unit is greater than zero, that amount shall equal | 1745 |
the reimbursement to be paid pursuant to division (E) of section | 1746 |
5751.21 or division (A)(3) of section 5751.22 of the Revised Code, | 1747 |
and the one-half of one mill that is subtracted under division | 1748 |
(E)(2) of this section shall be apportioned among all contributing | 1749 |
fixed-sum levies in the proportion that each levy bears to the sum | 1750 |
of all fixed-sum levies within each school district, joint | 1751 |
vocational school district, or local taxing unit. | 1752 |
(F) If a school district levies a tax under section 5705.219 | 1753 |
of the Revised Code, the fixed-rate levy loss for qualifying | 1754 |
levies, to the extent repealed under that section, shall equal the | 1755 |
sum of the following amounts in lieu of the amounts computed for | 1756 |
such levies under division (D) of this section: | 1757 |
(1) The sum of the rates of qualifying levies to the extent | 1758 |
so repealed multiplied by the sum of the machinery and equipment, | 1759 |
inventory, and furniture and fixtures tax value losses for 2009 as | 1760 |
determined under that division; | 1761 |
(2) The sum of the rates of qualifying levies to the extent | 1762 |
so repealed multiplied by the telephone property tax value loss | 1763 |
for 2011 as determined under that division. | 1764 |
The fixed-rate levy losses for qualifying levies to the | 1765 |
extent not repealed under section 5705.219 of the Revised Code | 1766 |
shall be as determined under division (D) of this section. The | 1767 |
revised fixed-rate levy losses determined under this division and | 1768 |
division (D) of this section first apply in the year following the | 1769 |
first year the district levies the tax under section 5705.219 of | 1770 |
the Revised Code. | 1771 |
(G) Not later than October 1, 2005, the tax commissioner | 1772 |
shall certify to the department of education for every school | 1773 |
district and joint vocational school district the machinery and | 1774 |
equipment, inventory, furniture and fixtures, and telephone | 1775 |
property tax value losses determined under division (C) of this | 1776 |
section, the machinery and equipment, inventory, furniture and | 1777 |
fixtures, and telephone fixed-rate levy losses determined under | 1778 |
division (D) of this section, and the fixed-sum levy losses | 1779 |
calculated under division (E) of this section. The calculations | 1780 |
under divisions (D) and (E) of this section shall separately | 1781 |
display the levy loss for each levy eligible for reimbursement. | 1782 |
(H) Not later than October 1, 2005, the tax commissioner | 1783 |
shall certify the amount of the fixed-sum levy losses to the | 1784 |
county auditor of each county in which a school district, joint | 1785 |
vocational school district, or local taxing unit with a fixed-sum | 1786 |
levy loss reimbursement has territory. | 1787 |
(I) Not later than the twenty-eighth day of February each | 1788 |
year beginning in 2011 and ending in 2014, the tax commissioner | 1789 |

district first levying a tax under section 5705.219 of the Revised | 1791 |
Code in the preceding year the revised fixed-rate levy losses | 1792 |
determined under divisions (D) and (F) of this section. | 1793 |
