Tax man: Ohio pays less than most

[Rick Rowlands]

Now if just 90% of what you pay in Federal taxes could be shipped to the State of Ohio instead, we would be in much better shape.

Ohio refunds me 100% of what I pay in due to military service. I still have to pay, but I get it all back at tax time, I call it my Ohio savings account.

35 out of 50   Not the lowest either ! The extra $20 vehicle registration penalty really irritates me. Anyone got any other fees or penalty's they want to add ?

Tax man: Ohio pays less than most

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Ohioans continue to pay less in state taxes than residents of most other states do, according to the latest figures from the U.S. census.

Census data compiled by the Federation of Tax Administrators shows Ohio in 2009 ranked 35th highest in state-tax collections per capita, and 33rd highest in collections as a percentage of income.

"These new figures bear out what we've been saying: Ohio is not a high-tax state, certainly not where state taxes are concerned," Ohio Tax Commissioner Richard A. Levin said.
