County and Transit Authority Permissive Sales and Use Tax Collections and Tax Rates for August 2005 and August 2004 for Distributions in October 2005 and October 2004.
The Ohio Department of Taxation administers permissive sales and use taxes for all counties and transit authorities that levy the tax. The permissive tax and the transit authority tax are enacted at the local level, but are collected by the state along with a 5.5 percent state sales tax. The local share is returned to the counties and regional transit authorities in the second month after the month the return is filed.
In August 2005, county permissive sales tax levies ranged from 0.25 percent to 1.5 percent, while the transit authority levies ranged from 0.25 percent to 1.0 percent. Currently, the Department administers the tax for 88 counties and seven transit authorities.
The revenue receipts from the county permissive sales and use tax were approximately $105.6 million while receipts from the transit tax were approximately $24.6 million for total collections of $130.3 million. This is a 5.03 percent increase over total collections of $124.0 million in August 2004.
