Effective April 1, 2022, Mahoning County will increase its sales and use tax rate from 7.25% to 7.5%.

Taxpayers should ensure that the rate changes are accurately reflected in their systems so that customers are charged the appropriate sales tax rate. This may include retailers updating cash registers and point-of-sale software and systems. It is a good practice to review sales on the effective date of the rate change to confirm systems are properly calculating the tax.

In addition, businesses need to update their use tax rates in order to capture the rate increases when self-assessing use tax. Use tax rates are typically updated in a firm’s accounting software or ERP system.

Additional Ohio sales and use tax rate information can be found on the Ohio Department of Taxation website.
