State & Local Tax Comparisons, 2001 - 2002
State
and local tax statistics, as well as population and personal income
data for this table, are derived from the "Government Finances"
data series of the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census
(issued July 2004). The tax data are for fiscal year 2002, meaning
any twelve month accounting period that ended between July 1, 2001
and June 30, 2002. Most state data generally reflects the July 1,
2001 - June 30, 2002 period. Most local governments (including those
in Ohio) use a calendar year-based accounting period, so the local
tax figures most commonly reflect the January 1 - December 31, 2001
period. Personal income data (used in table TC-2) are for calendar
year 2001 while the population data (used in Table TC-1) are as
of April 1, 2000.
For the first time, the District of Columbia was included in the
TC-1 and TC-2 tables. The District of Columbia's income and population
data was obtained from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of
Economic Analysis.
Ohio's per capita state and local taxes were $3,170 in 2001-02,
ranking Ohio 19th among the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The high was $5,636 (District of Columbia) and the low was $2,170
(Alabama). The U.S. average was $3,142.
As a percent of personal income Ohio ranked 13th nationally in combined
state and local taxes at 11.0 percent. This compares to a high of
13.2 percent (Maine) and a low of 8.4 percent (New Hampshire). The
U.S. average was 10.4 percent.
State and local taxes include all taxes levied within the state
of Ohio, such as personal income tax, sales tax, and corporate franchise
tax, and local taxes including municipal income, local permissive
sales and various property taxes.
