Uniform Tax Overhaul Rocks Ohio Legislature
Columbus June 26 The 30th General Assembly ended the long session amid a near wipeout of the uniform rule tax system as a new set of rates and classifications replaces the old scheme. The plan taxes intangible assets bonds and securities at low rates, exempts personal household goods and autos, taxes bank deposits and intangibles, and introduces a cigarette tax to bolster state revenue. The measures, drafted by the Senate House Special Taxation Committee, include revised delinquent tax laws and expanded tax commission authority, with a broad program awaiting future legislative refinement.
