Ohio House considers 5 percent franchise tax on corporate income
Ohio lawmakers introduced a tax reform measure to impose a 5 percent franchise tax on corporate net income and unincorporated business, replace municipal tax with a 1 percent local government income tax, and repeal the intangible personal property tax. The plan includes credits for seniors and real estate tax offsets, phasing out tangible personal property taxes on inventories over four years. The reform panel, chaired by Albert H. Sealy, has held hearings in 24 cities and aims for broader tax equalization.
