Court: Cities cannot tax Lotto winnings in Ohio
The 9th Ohio District Court of Appeals ruled that Akron cannot levy income tax on lottery winnings. Duane Fisher, who won 84 million in 1991, challenged Akron’s tax bill of about 169 thousand. The court upheld the ruling that winnings are intangible income not subject to municipal tax, while state tax remains in effect.
