Tax shifts in Ohio legislature reshape nuisance and utility levies
The Ohio Legislature plans to drop nuisance taxes including cosmetics soft drinks and admissions while maintaining a 3 percent gross admissions tax on theaters. The sales tax may exempt bread milk and newspapers and boost municipal allocations. Utilities face mixed treatment with railroads targeted for higher charges and debates over telecom gas and electric company exemptions. A 1 cent liquid fuel tax remains tied to exemptions for paint makers and dry cleaners. Political subdivisions gain authority to hold next year elections for tax levies with simple majorities.
