H.B. 59 of the 130th General Assembly to correct and modify recent amendments to tax-related law, to lengthen the maximum term of a property tax levy for the purpose of zoological parks operated or supported by a county, and to declare an emergency.

Section 1. That sections 319.302, 323.152, 4503.065, 5705.19, 5733.41, 5741.03, 5747.02, and 5747.025 of the Revised Code be amended to read as follows:

Sec. 319.302. (A)(1) Real property that is not intended primarily for use in a business activity shall qualify for a partial exemption from real property taxation. For purposes of this partial exemption, "business activity" includes all uses of real property, except farming; leasing property for farming; occupying or holding property improved with single-family, two-family, or three-family dwellings; leasing property improved with single-family, two-family, or three-family dwellings; or holding vacant land that the county auditor determines will be used for farming or to develop single-family, two-family, or three-family dwellings. For purposes of this partial exemption, "farming" does not include land used for the commercial production of timber that is receiving the tax benefit under section 5713.23 or 5713.31 of the Revised Code and all improvements connected with such commercial production of timber.

(2) Each year, the county auditor shall review each parcel of real property to determine whether it qualifies for the partial exemption provided for by this section as of the first day of January of the current tax year.

(B) After complying with section 319.301 of the Revised Code, the county auditor shall reduce the remaining sums to be levied by qualifying levies against each parcel of real property that is listed on the general tax list and duplicate of real and public utility property for the current tax year and that qualifies for partial exemption under division (A) of this section, and against each manufactured and mobile home that is taxed pursuant to division (D)(2) of section 4503.06 of the Revised Code and that is on the manufactured home tax list for the current tax year, by ten per cent, to provide a partial exemption for that parcel or home. For the purposes of this division:

(1) "Qualifying levy" means a levy approved at an election held before the effective date of the amendment of this section by H.B. 59 of the 130th general assembly September 29, 2013; a levy within the ten-mill limitation, or; a levy provided for by the charter of a municipal corporation, that was levied on the tax list for tax year 2013; a subsequent renewal of any such levy; or a subsequent substitute for such a levy under section 5705.199 of the Revised Code.

(2) "Qualifying levy" does not include any replacement imposed under section 5705.192 of the Revised Code of any levy described in division (B)(1) of this section.

(C) Except as otherwise provided in sections 323.152, 323.158, 505.06, and 715.263 of the Revised Code, the amount of the taxes remaining after any such reduction shall be the real and public utility property taxes charged and payable on each parcel of real property, including property that does not qualify for partial exemption under division (A) of this section, and the manufactured home tax charged and payable on each manufactured or mobile home, and shall be the amounts certified to the county treasurer for collection. Upon receipt of the real and public utility property tax duplicate, the treasurer shall certify to the tax commissioner the total amount by which the real property taxes were reduced under this section, as shown on the duplicate. Such reduction shall not directly or indirectly affect the determination of the principal amount of notes that may be issued in anticipation of any tax levies or the amount of bonds or notes for any planned improvements. If after application of sections 5705.31 and 5705.32 of the Revised Code and other applicable provisions of law, including divisions (F) and (I) of section 321.24 of the Revised Code, there would be insufficient funds for payment of debt charges on bonds or notes payable from taxes reduced by this section, the reduction of taxes provided for in this section shall be adjusted to the extent necessary to provide funds from such taxes.

(D) The tax commissioner may adopt rules governing the administration of the partial exemption provided for by this section.

(E) The determination of whether property qualifies for partial exemption under division (A) of this section is solely for the purpose of allowing the partial exemption under division (B) of this section.

The amount of the reduction shall equal two and one-half per cent of the amount of taxes to be levied by qualifying levies on the homestead or the manufactured or mobile home after applying section 319.301 of the Revised Code. For the purposes of this division, "qualifying levy" has the same meaning as in section 319.302 of the Revised Code.

If after application of sections 5705.31 and 5705.32 of the Revised Code, including the allocation of all levies within the ten-mill limitation to debt charges to the extent therein provided, there would be insufficient funds for payment of debt charges not provided for by levies in excess of the ten-mill limitation, the reduction of taxes provided for in sections 323.151 to 323.159 of the Revised Code shall be proportionately adjusted to the extent necessary to provide such funds from levies within the ten-mill limitation.

Sec. 5733.41.  The purpose of the tax imposed by this section is to complement and to reinforce the tax imposed under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code.

For the same purposes for which the tax is levied under section 5733.06 of the Revised Code, there is hereby levied a tax on every qualifying pass-through entity having at least one qualifying investor that is not an individual. The tax imposed by this section is imposed on the sum of the adjusted qualifying amounts of the qualifying pass-through entity's qualifying investors that are not individuals as follows: for qualifying investors subject to division (G)(2) of section 5733.01 of the Revised Code, at six and eight-tenths per cent for the entity's taxable year ending in 2005, at five and one-tenth per cent for the entity's taxable year ending in 2006, at three and four-tenths per cent for the entity's taxable year ending in 2007, at one and seven-tenths per cent for the entity's taxable year ending in 2008, and at zero per cent for the entity's taxable year ending in 2009 or in subsequent years; and for all other qualifying investors that are not individuals, at the rate specified in division (B) of section 5733.06 of the Revised Code that is in effect on the last day of the entity's taxable year of eight and one-half per cent.

The tax imposed by this section applies only if the qualifying entity has nexus with this state under the Constitution of the United States for any portion of the qualifying entity's qualifying taxable year, and the sum of the qualifying entity's adjusted qualifying amounts exceeds one thousand dollars for the qualifying entity's qualifying taxable year. This section does not apply to a pass-through entity if all of the partners, shareholders, members, or investors of the pass-through entity are taxpayers for the purposes of section 5733.04 of the Revised Code without regard to section 5733.09 of the Revised Code for the entire qualifying taxable year of the pass-through entity.

If, prior to the due date of the return, a qualifying pass-through entity receives from an investor a written representation, under penalties of perjury, that the investor is described in division (I)(1), (2), (6), (7), (8), or (9) of section 5733.40 of the Revised Code for the qualifying pass-through entity's entire qualifying taxable year, the qualifying pass-through entity is not required to withhold or pay the taxes or estimated taxes imposed under this section or sections 5747.41 to 5747.453 of the Revised Code with respect to that investor for that qualifying taxable year, and is not subject to any interest or interest penalties for failure to withhold or pay those taxes or estimated taxes with respect to that investor for that qualifying taxable year.

If, prior to the due date of the return, a qualifying trust receives from a beneficiary of that trust a written representation, under penalties of perjury, that the beneficiary is a resident taxpayer for the purposes of Chapter 5747. of the Revised Code for the qualifying trust's entire qualifying taxable year, the qualifying trust is not required to withhold or pay the taxes or estimated taxes imposed under this section or sections 5747.41 to 5747.453 of the Revised Code with respect to that beneficiary for that qualifying taxable year, and is not subject to any interest or interest penalties for failure to withhold or pay those taxes or estimated taxes with respect to that beneficiary for that qualifying taxable year.

The tax commissioner may adopt rules for the purpose of the tax levied by this section or section 5747.41 of the Revised Code, including a rule defining "qualifying investor" or "qualifying beneficiary," and a rule requiring or permitting a qualifying entity to combine its income with related members and to pay the tax and estimated tax on a combined basis.

Sections 5747.10 to 5747.19 and 5747.42 to 5747.453 of the Revised Code apply to a qualifying entity subject to the tax imposed under this section.

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

Sec. 5741.03.  (A) One hundred per cent of all money deposited into the state treasury under sections 5741.01 to 5741.22 of the Revised Code that is not required to be distributed as provided in division (B) of this section shall be credited to the general revenue fund.

(B) In any case where any county or transit authority has levied a tax or taxes pursuant to section 5741.021, 5741.022, or 5741.023 of the Revised Code, the tax commissioner shall, within forty-five days after the end of each month, determine and certify to the director of budget and management the amount of the proceeds of such tax or taxes from billings and assessments received during that month, or shown on tax returns or reports filed during that month, to be returned to the county or transit authority levying the tax or taxes, which amounts shall be determined in the manner provided in section 5739.21 of the Revised Code. The director of budget and management shall transfer, from the general revenue fund, to the permissive tax distribution fund created by division (B)(1) of section 4301.423 of the Revised Code and to the local sales tax administrative fund created by division (C) of section 5739.21 of the Revised Code, the amounts certified by the tax commissioner. The tax commissioner shall then, on or before the twentieth day of the month in which such certification is made, provide for payment of such respective amounts to the county treasurer or to the fiscal officer of the transit authority levying the tax or taxes. The amount transferred to the local sales tax administrative fund is for use by the tax commissioner in defraying costs the commissioner incurs in administering such taxes levied by a county or transit authority.

(C)(1) Not later than the first day of January and of July each calendar year beginning July 1, 2015, the tax commissioner and the director of budget and management shall jointly determine the amount of tax imposed by section 5741.02 of the Revised Code and remitted under this chapter by remote sellers during the six-month period ending on the preceding last day of November and of May, respectively, reduced by any such tax remitted by sellers pursuant to an agreement entered into under section 5740.03 of the Revised Code during the six-month period and by any refunds issued during the six-month period to remote sellers from the tax refund fund on account of that tax. Not

(2) Not later than that first day of January and of July of the calendar year beginning July 1, 2015, the director of budget and management shall transfer from the general revenue fund to the income tax reduction fund the amount so determined under division (C)(1) of this section, less one-half of the amount of that tax remitted during fiscal year 2013 by remote sellers that voluntarily registered under section 5741.17 of the Revised Code. Amounts transferred to the income tax reduction fund under this section shall be included in the determination of the percentage under division (B)(2) of section 131.44 of the Revised Code required to be made by the thirty-first day of July of the calendar year in which the commissioner makes the certifications under this division.

Sec. 5747.02.  (A) For the purpose of providing revenue for the support of schools and local government functions, to provide relief to property taxpayers, to provide revenue for the general revenue fund, and to meet the expenses of administering the tax levied by this chapter, there is hereby levied on every individual, trust, and estate residing in or earning or receiving income in this state, on every individual, trust, and estate earning or receiving lottery winnings, prizes, or awards pursuant to Chapter 3770. of the Revised Code, on every individual, trust, and estate earning or receiving winnings on casino gaming, and on every individual, trust, and estate otherwise having nexus with or in this state under the Constitution of the United States, an annual tax measured in the case of individuals by Ohio adjusted gross income less an exemption for the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, and each dependent as provided in section 5747.025 of the Revised Code; measured in the case of trusts by modified Ohio taxable income under division (D) of this section; and measured in the case of estates by Ohio taxable income. The tax imposed by this section on the balance thus obtained is hereby levied as follows:

(1) For taxable years beginning in 2004:

(2) For taxable years beginning in 2005:

(3) For taxable years beginning in 2006:

(4) For taxable years beginning in 2007:

(9) For taxable years beginning in 2015 or thereafter:

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

The adjusted amounts apply to taxable years beginning in the calendar year in which the adjustments are made and to taxable years beginning in each ensuing calendar year until a calendar year in which a new adjustment is made pursuant to this division. The tax commissioner shall not make such adjustments a new adjustment in any year in which the amount resulting from the adjustment would be less than the amount resulting from the adjustment in the preceding year. The commissioner shall not make such adjustments a new adjustment for taxable years beginning in 2013, 2014, or 2015.

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

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

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

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

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

The personal exemption amount prescribed in this division for taxable years beginning after 1999 shall be adjusted each year in the manner prescribed in division (C) of this section. In the case of an individual with respect to whom an exemption under section 5747.02 of the Revised Code is allowable to another taxpayer for a taxable year beginning in the calendar year in which the individual's taxable year begins, the exemption amount applicable to such individual for such individual's taxable year shall be zero.

The adjusted amount applies to taxable years beginning in the calendar year in which the adjustment is made and to taxable years beginning in each ensuing calendar year until a calendar year in which a new adjustment is made pursuant to this division. The commissioner shall not make such an a new adjustment in any calendar year in which the amount resulting from the adjustment would be less than the amount resulting from the adjustment in the preceding calendar year.
