Tax in general is ridiculous. Gas prices are ridiculous as well....the damn tax rate pisses me off though, didn't realize it until just recently and makes me wonder WTF is going to get raised next.

About 50% of your earnings goes towards some form of tax. True story.

[Brandon]

uhhh its 7.25 i think at polaris.

[Kohones]

Worse - in Cleveland (Cuyohoga Cnty) tax rate is 7.75%. Like they say, two things are certain = dying & paying taxes!!

[smokin5s]

I think it's getting out of hand... time to call our local representatives

 

and it for sure is 7 in Reynoldsburg I just saw it on my reciept today for Best Buy.

[Conesmasher]

Yep, they tax booze, smokes, gas, property and general sales. It's pretty fucking ridiculous.

Well actually, this increase went into effect July 1, 2003! The good news is the State Rate is scheduled to decrease on July 1, 2005. Legislation pending in the Ohio General Assembly (HB66, the state budget bill) would make the state rate 5.5% July 1, 2005.

its 6.75% in good old fairfield county. A couple of months back, Fairfield county had a levy to increase the sales tax to 7%, and of course, it was voted down. The end result=100 county employees were laid off. graemlins/thumbsdown.gif

Well, Ohio will be taking that away too. Ohio is participating in the Streamlined Sales Tax Project. The SSTP is a multi-state initiative to make sales tax laws, rules, and systems more uniform across states and thus easier for vendors to collect states’ sales taxes. The ultimate goal of the SSTP is to encourage out-of-state vendors – primarily catalog and Internet companies – to collect the sales tax of Ohio and other states.

It's all a scam. Shouldn't taxes match the rate of inflation? Especially in these times where the economy was or is shit. If people are paying more for everything, then the Gov is already getting more Cheddar and then on top of that they raise taxes?

 

So the Fed's lower rates so it's more enticing to put your self farther in debt to in return boost economy. So then what happens? The prices of homes and cars go up and everything sells based on a monthly payment. The Fed's are playing the same game. Sad.

Tax should not go up with inflation. As inflation goes up, they will get thier tax off of the increased price of the goods, as well as off of the income that people will increase (raise, second job)to compensate for the inflation rate. Rasing taxes to "keep with inflation" is a way of disguising "we suck at budgeting"

[smokin5s]

it's all about the people in office want their 15% raise every year... how do they get it? raise taxes...

 

How about they spend that money on something that helps us.... better schools, free health care, anger managment training for law enforcement officers... I mean, something... don't make some fat guy that sits in his leather chair not doing anything richer...

Will it never end?

 

Franklin County debates raising sales tax.

 

Commissioners may diminish benefit of state's planned rate cut

Franklin County commissioners are considering a quarter-percent sales-tax increase to help erase a potential $55 million budget deficit for 2006.

If enacted later this year, it would be the first increase since a half-cent county sales tax began in 1985, and because of a pending cut in the state's sales-tax rate, shoppers still would pay less at the cash register than they do today

[Lustalbert]

why is it a major tax cut saves about $200 year, but a minor increase costs the consumer about a grand?

Florida is also this way. No state income tax at all. And their sales tax is only 6.5%. They paid what is called intangable tax on mortgage loans as well as state tax stamps. Usually runs a total of 6.50 per thousand borrowed.

VAT tax is the way to do it.
