TAXES

MUNICIPALITY INCOME TAX: The Municipality has a 1 1/2% Income Tax applicable to the net profit earned by your operation. The tax is also applicable to all of your employees, and is paid by the employees, not the Company.

REAL ESTATE TAX: In the Industrial sections of Carlisle, the Municipality grants tax abatement for up to 15 years. This abatement is applicable only to the assessed value of the improvements placed on the land.

Example: Assuming you erect a new building at a cost of $1,000,000, you will save $19,341.00 per year for the next 15 years.

Cost of building = $1,000,000

35% - assessed value = $ 350,000

x 55.26 per $1,000 = $19,341.00

In other words, for the next 15 years you will pay real estate taxes on the assessed value of the land only, and you will not be charged tax for the assessed value of the building or buildings you place on the land.

PERSONAL PROPERTY OR TANGIBLE TAX: This is assessed at 25% of the true value (similar to net book values). Example: If you have $100,000 of inventory and equipment, it is assessed at $25,000 x the applicable rate of $59.74 per $1,000 per year = $1,493.50 per year.

CORPORATE FRANCHISE TAX: The tax is the greater of .596% of net worth, or 5.21% of the first $50,000 of net profit, plus 9.12% on the excess over $50,000. Section 5733.09 (B) of the Ohio Revised Code exempts "S" corporations from the franchise tax. However, the shareholders will pay personal state income tax on their share of the company�s profits.

PERSONAL STATE INCOME TAX: Applicable to earnings of employees. The tax is based on the amount reported as Federal Adjusted Gross Income to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

(This tax is not applicable to "C" corporations.)

GENERAL PROPERTY TAXES

When tax abatement is granted it is applicable only to the improvements placed on the land. You will pay tax only on the assessed value of the land. The improvements, such as your building, are not taxed for fifteen years. In Ohio real estate tax is assessed at 35% of the actual value.

EXAMPLE: A $100,000 parcel of land is assessed at $35,000, to which the tax rate is applicable.

The current rate per $1,000 of assessed value of real estate is $51.89.

TAXABLE PROPERTY

The current rate applicable to machinery, equipment and inventory, which is assessed at 25% of actual value, is $59.74 per $1,000 of assessed value.
