       (18) For taxable years beginning in 2024 or thereafter, no 300
tax.301

        Except as otherwise provided in this division, in August of 302
each year, the tax commissioner shall make a new adjustment to the 303
income amounts prescribed in this division by multiplying the 304
percentage increase in the gross domestic product deflator 305
computed that year under section 5747.025 of the Revised Code by 306
each of the income amounts resulting from the adjustment under 307
this division in the preceding year, adding the resulting product 308
to the corresponding income amount resulting from the adjustment 309
in the preceding year, and rounding the resulting sum to the 310
nearest multiple of fifty dollars. The tax commissioner also shall 311
recompute each of the tax dollar amounts to the extent necessary 312
to reflect the new adjustment of the income amounts. The rates of 313
taxation shall not be adjusted. 314

       The adjusted amounts apply to taxable years beginning in the 315
calendar year in which the adjustments are made and to taxable 316
years beginning in each ensuing calendar year until a calendar 317
year in which a new adjustment is made pursuant to this division. 318
The tax commissioner shall not make a new adjustment in any year 319
in which the amount resulting from the adjustment would be less 320
than the amount resulting from the adjustment in the preceding 321
year. The commissioner shall not make a new adjustment for taxable 322
years beginning in 2013, 2014, or 2015.323

       (B) If the director of budget and management makes a 324
certification to the tax commissioner under division (B) of 325
section 131.44 of the Revised Code, the amount of tax as 326
determined under division (A) of this section shall be reduced by 327
the percentage prescribed in that certification for taxable years 328
beginning in the calendar year in which that certification is 329
made. 330

       (C) The levy of this tax on income does not prevent a 331
municipal corporation, a joint economic development zone created 332
under section 715.691, or a joint economic development district 333
created under section 715.70 or 715.71 or sections 715.72 to 334
715.81 of the Revised Code from levying a tax on income. 335

       (D) This division applies only to taxable years of a trust 336
beginning in 2002 or thereafter. 337

       (1) The tax imposed by this section on a trust shall be 338
computed by multiplying the Ohio modified taxable income of the 339
trust by the rates prescribed by division (A) of this section. 340

       (2) A resident trust may claim a credit against the tax 341
computed under division (D) of this section equal to the lesser of 342
(1) the tax paid to another state or the District of Columbia on 343
the resident trust's modified nonbusiness income, other than the 344
portion of the resident trust's nonbusiness income that is 345
qualifying investment income as defined in section 5747.012 of the 346
Revised Code, or (2) the effective tax rate, based on modified 347
Ohio taxable income, multiplied by the resident trust's modified 348
nonbusiness income other than the portion of the resident trust's 349
nonbusiness income that is qualifying investment income. The 350
credit applies before any other applicable credits. 351

       (3) The credits enumerated in divisions (A)(1) to (13) of 352
section 5747.98 of the Revised Code do not apply to a trust 353
subject to division (D) of this section. Any credits enumerated in 354
other divisions of section 5747.98 of the Revised Code apply to a 355
trust subject to division (D) of this section. To the extent that 356
the trust distributes income for the taxable year for which a 357
credit is available to the trust, the credit shall be shared by 358
the trust and its beneficiaries. The tax commissioner and the 359
trust shall be guided by applicable regulations of the United 360
States treasury regarding the sharing of credits. 361

       (E) For the purposes of this section, "trust" means any trust 362
described in Subchapter J of Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue 363
Code, excluding trusts that are not irrevocable as defined in 364
division (I)(3)(b) of section 5747.01 of the Revised Code and that 365
have no modified Ohio taxable income for the taxable year, 366
charitable remainder trusts, qualified funeral trusts and preneed 367
funeral contract trusts established pursuant to sections 4717.31 368
to 4717.38 of the Revised Code that are not qualified funeral 369
trusts, endowment and perpetual care trusts, qualified settlement 370
trusts and funds, designated settlement trusts and funds, and 371
trusts exempted from taxation under section 501(a) of the Internal 372
Revenue Code.373

       Sec. 5747.027.  (A) As used in this section, "income tax 374
expenditure" means any credit, deduction, exemption, or other tax 375
provision in the Revised Code that effectively exempts income from 376
the tax imposed under section 5747.02 of the Revised Code, except 377
for any such provision required to be allowed under federal law.378

       (B) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2015, 379
but before January 1, 2024, a taxpayer shall not claim or take 380
more than the following percentage of the amount of any income tax 381
expenditure that the taxpayer is otherwise entitled to take or 382
claim: 383

       (1) For taxable years beginning in 2015, ninety per cent.384

       (2) For taxable years beginning in 2016, eighty per cent.385

       (3) For taxable years beginning in 2017, seventy per cent.386

       (4) For taxable years beginning in 2018, sixty per cent.387

       (5) For taxable years beginning in 2019, fifty per cent.388

       (6) For taxable years beginning in 2020, forty per cent.389

       (7) For taxable years beginning in 2021, thirty per cent.390

       (8) For taxable years beginning in 2022, twenty per cent.391

       (9) For taxable years beginning in 2023, ten per cent.392

       (C) Nothing in this section prohibits a taxpayer disallowed 393
from claiming the full amount of a credit because of this section 394
against the tax imposed under section 5747.02 of the Revised Code 395
from claiming the credit amount so disallowed against another tax, 396
provided the credit is authorized to be claimed against that other 397
tax. 398

       Sec. 5747.41. (A) For the same purposes for which the tax is 399
levied under section 5747.02 of the Revised Code, there is hereby 400
levied a withholding tax on every qualifying pass-through entity 401
having at least one qualifying investor who is an individual and 402
on every qualifying trust having at least one qualifying 403
beneficiary who is an individual. The withholding tax imposed by 404
this section is imposed on the sum of the adjusted qualifying 405
amounts of a qualifying pass-through entity's qualifying investors 406
who are individuals and on the sum of the adjusted qualifying 407
amounts of a qualifying trust's qualifying beneficiaries, at the 408
rate of five per cent of that sumprescribed in division (B) of 409
this section.410

       The tax imposed by this section applies only if the 411
qualifying entity has nexus with this state under the Constitution 412
of the United States for any portion of the qualifying entity's 413
qualifying taxable year, and the sum of the qualifying entity's 414
adjusted qualifying amounts exceeds one thousand dollars for the 415
qualifying entity's qualifying taxable year.416

       The levy of the tax under this section does not prevent a 417
municipal corporation or a joint economic development district 418
created under section 715.70 or 715.71 or sections 715.72 to 419
715.81 of the Revised Code from levying a tax on income.420

       (B) The rate of the tax levied in division (A) of this 421
section shall be one of the following:422

       (1) For qualifying taxable years beginning in or before 2014, 423
five per cent.424

       (2) For qualifying taxable years beginning in 2015, four and 425
one-half per cent.426

       (3) For qualifying taxable years beginning in 2016, four per 427
cent.428

       (4) For qualifying taxable years beginning in 2017, three and 429
one-half per cent.430

       (5) For qualifying taxable years beginning in 2018, three per 431
cent.432

       (6) For qualifying taxable years beginning in 2019, two and 433
one-half per cent.434

one-half per cent.438

       (9) For qualifying taxable years beginning in 2022, one per 439
cent.440

       (10) For qualifying taxable years beginning in 2023, one-half 441
of one per cent.442

thereafter, no tax.444
