Battle continues regarding where remote workers pay taxes
Ohio Statehouse, Columbus.
The right of cities to tax remote employees during the pandemic continues to face opposition on multiple fronts.
A bill that would allow remote workers to pay income tax to their home municipalities rather than where their employers are located and seek refunds for 2021 taxes passed the Ohio House, Wednesday, May 26.
Separately, as Ohio House Bill 157 moves to the Ohio Senate, the Buckeye Institute filed an appeal in one of the organization's multiple challenges about the constitutionality of Ohio House Bill 197, which was passed codifying the right of those cities to tax the income of employees not working within the municipal limits during the pandemic.
