                                General Information

Why are three so many changes to the Newark Withholding requirements?
In December 2014, the Ohio Legislature passed a new State law that made sweeping changes 
to municipal tax collections for the entire State.  All municipalities are required to implement the 
State law with the tax year beginning January 1, 2016.

Where can I find the State law and the Newark Income Tax Ordinance?
Both documents are available online at the following:

Do I have to withhold Newark City Tax?
The new State law has changed the withholding requirements.  Please see the Ohio Revised 
Code section 718.03 or Newark Ordinance section 890.051 for details.

What is the tax rate for Newark?
The Newark City tax rate is 1.75% (0.175) of gross qualifying wages earned in Newark and/or 
not subject to another city's withholding.  If your Newark resident employee works outside of any 
city, you may elect to withhold and remit their Newark tax at 1.75%.

What if my employees pay tax to another city?
If your employees are Newark residents and pay tax to another city,  the Newark resident is 
allowed a 1% credit for taxes paid to the other city.  You may elect to withhold and remit their 
Newark tax on their behalf at  0.75% of the wages taxed by the other city.
