One-size taxation is a tough fit

Canton Repository: Did you know that Ohio is the only state that allows individual municipalities to set their own guidelines when it comes to tax codes? That means Canton can have a different set of rules for what is considered taxable income than, say, Massillon or North Canton.

That’s an unnecessary mess for businesses that operate in different parts of the state.

Give credit to the state Legislature for considering House Bill 601, which would create uniform rules for taxation across Ohio.

Finally, the state would be in line with the other 49. That’s a good thing for businesses.

Of course, the problem with a one-size-fits-all solution is that size isn’t particularly flattering on some.
