County and Regional Transit Authority Permissive Sales and Use Tax Collections and Tax Rates for July 2002 and July 2001 for Distribution in the Month of September 2002
The Ohio Department of Taxation administers permissive sales and use taxes for all counties and transit authorities that levy the tax. The permissive tax and the transit authority tax are enacted at the local level, but are collected by the state along with a five-percent state sales tax. The local share is returned to the counties and regional transit authorities.
The majority of July collections reflect taxable sales made in the previous month.
In July 2002, county permissive sales tax levies ranged from 0.5 percent to 1.5 percent, while the transit authority levies ranged from 0.25 percent to 1.0 percent. Currently, the Department administers the tax for 87 counties and six transit authorities. One county (Stark) did not levy the tax.
The revenue receipts from the county permissive sales and use tax were approximately $100.8 million while receipts from the transit tax were approximately $24.4 million. Total collections for the month of July 2002 were $125.2 million, up 8.9 percent from July 2001.
