Ohio Sales Tax Reaches 15th Birthday Soon
The Ohio sales tax celebrates 15 years since 1935, funding school aid and local governments. Since inception it has raised over a billion dollars, with use tax added in 1936 for out-of-state purchases used in Ohio. Revenue shifts in 1948 and 1949 altered local aid and fiscal timing, while a 1948 repeal reduced revenue from small-item purchases.
