Ohio State Tax Commission ruled that manufacturer rebates after sale do not reduce the selling price for sales tax purposes. Deputy Tax Commissioner Norman Schmidt said taxes are based on the price arranged at sale and thus rebates paid later do not affect the tax. The ruling, issued after Chronicle-Telegram inquiries, could set a precedent for other states.
