Policy Matters Ohio has proposed a better-targeted, more effective, and less expensive sales tax credit that would help Ohioans who need it and balance their need for tax relief against our collective need for the wealthy to pay what they truly owe. The legislature should replace the sales tax holiday with a targeted credit — and implement the three other tax code changes proposed by Policy Matters this spring. That is why a sales tax credit — targeted to those who need it and phasing out as income increases — is a good idea: It would make the sales tax more equitable.
