IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION:

“Amnesty Program” Available Thru November 19, 2008!

 
The City of Dayton is stepping up efforts to collect delinquent income taxes, which fund critical basic services like police, fire/EMS, and waste collection.  To encourage greater participation in the new collection process and to create a savings for those who have not paid their taxes in full, the City is offering a one-time penalty amnesty period through November 19, 2008 that will allow residents and businesses to pay their delinquent taxes in full without penalties or late fees.

Thanks to tax records made available from the IRS and the State of Ohio, the City of Dayton is now able to identify who may not have paid their proper City income tax payments over the past several years.  If you owe City income tax, this is your opportunity to take advantage of the one-time amnesty period to avoid the extra penalty charges.  Now is the time to wipe the slate clean. 

Remember, if you live within the city limits of Dayton, you must pay income tax regardless of where you work.  If the tax you pay in the city where you work is less than Dayton’s 2.25 percent income tax rate, then you owe the difference to the City of Dayton.

If you have unpaid City of Dayton income taxes and want to avoid the costly collection process, download a City tax form to return, or call us at 937-333-3500 for further assistance.
