Participating organizations located in Ohio have different rebates than are available in other states due to the Ohio Commercial Activity Tax. This is a 0.26% tax of gross receipts (total sales), and it applies to all business transactions in the state of Ohio, including your gift card purchases from us.
Because of the Ohio Commercial Activity Tax, we have reduced rebates for our Ohio organizations by the amount needed to cover the estimated cost of the tax. This reduction is 0.26% of the face value of each gift card, eGift card, or reloadable card. For example, the earnings on a card that is normally 10% will be 9.74% for Ohio organizations. The actual earnings available for Ohio users are reflected on RaiseRight.com if you're logged in to an account linked to an organization located in Ohio, and all reporting and packing slips will reflect the actual rebates earned.
If you have questions about this, please contact our RaiseRight Customer Support Team.
