                                                             Employer Withholding and Remittance Obligations
All employers within, or doing business within Canton or within a Canton JEDD, who employ one or more persons on a salary, wage, commission or other compensation basis in the business 
transaction, must withhold local income taxes from the employees’ pay. The taxes withheld must be deposited  on a monthly basis if the withholdings equal or exceed two hundred dollars ($200.00) 
during any one calendar month (or if the taxes required to be withheld in the previous calendar year exceeded $2,399.00); otherwise, if the taxes withheld total less than two hundred dollars 
($200.00) per month, the taxes may be paid quarterly. Taxes must be remitted semimonthly if the withholdings equal or exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) in any one calendar month, or if 
the taxes required to be withheld in the previous calendar year exceeded eleven thousand nine hundred ninety-nine dollars ($11,999.00).
IF YOU ARE REQUIRED TO FILE ELECTRONICALLY FOR FEDERAL WITHHOLDING TAX PURPOSES YOU MUST FILE ELECTRONICALLY FOR CANTON WITHHOLDING PURPOSES AS WELL. 
Monthly remitters must pay the taxes withheld for the previous month on or before the 15th day of each month. Employers who are required to remit on a quarterly basis must pay the taxes 
withheld for the previous quarter on or before the last day of the month following the end of the quarter. Employers who are required to remit on a semimonthly basis must pay the taxes 
withheld for the first fifteen days of the month on the third banking day after the fifteenth day of the month, and on the third banking day after the last day of the month for the latter half of the month. 
Failure to withhold, remit, or file timely subjects the employer to civil and criminal sanctions. Additionally, from the time of withholding, until the deposit is made, an employer holds the tax as a 
trustee for the benefit of the City or the JEDD; the tax collected is considered a trust fund in the hands of the employer, until it is paid to the City/JEDD.
In the case of employers who fail to withhold or remit the taxes withheld, or taxes which should have been withheld from employees, the following penalties and interest will be imposed:
•  Late Filing Penalty - $25.00 per return. • Late Payment Penalty - 50% of the unpaid balance at the time payment is due. • Late Payment Interest - 0.833% per month.
                                                                               Determining Taxable Income
Canton City Income Tax and the JEDD Income Tax is imposed on “qualifying wages” as defined in Section 3121(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, without regard to the Social Security wage limitation, adjusted as follows:
DEDUCT: any amount included in wages if the amount constitutes compensation attributable to a plan or program described in Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code.
ADD: any amount not included in wages because the amount arises from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of a stock option, or the sale, exchange, or other disposition
          of stock purchased under a stock option.
           any employee contribution or elective deferral that is not included in wages if the amount is an amount described in Section 401 (k) or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.
          any supplemental unemployment compensation benefits not included in wages, described in Section 3402(o)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. 
  any amount excluded from wages solely because the employee was employed by the employer prior to April 1, 1986.
