At a Glance: Ohio’s Tax Rates for Sales, Personal Income

A new comparison by the Tax Foundation shows Ohio’s top individual income tax rate (3.99%) is competitive compared to most other states. (Ohio is currently one of 17 states that allow a local income tax, which was not considered in the Foundation’s comparison.)

Meanwhile, another Foundation study shows Ohio’s average combined state-and-local sales tax rate (7.22%) is 20th highest in the U.S. — and higher than neighboring states. Ohio’s state sales tax rate is 5.75% (27th highest), while the average local sales tax rate is 1.47%. 2/14/2022
