County and Transit Authority Permissive Sales and Use Tax Collections and Tax Rates for September 2004 and September 2003 for Distributions in November 2004 and November 2003.
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 six-percent state sales tax. The local share is returned to the counties and regional transit authorities in the second month after the month the return is filed.
In September 2004, county permissive sales tax levies ranged from 0.25 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 88 counties and seven transit authorities.
The revenue receipts from the county permissive sales and use tax were approximately $97.3 million while receipts from the transit tax were approximately $22.9 million for total collections of $120.3 million. This is a 1.74 percent decrease over total collections of $122.4 million in September 2003.
