  • Genoa tax returns are to be filed by April 15 of every year.
  • Yes, this credit is up to 50 % of Genoa’s tax rate of 11/2 % (or .0075). To get the most credit other municipalities tax rate must be 11/2% or higher
  • To figure the credit, multiply wages paid by credit allowed.

    EXAMPLE:
    Genoa tax due on $10,000.00 is 10,000 x .015 = $150.00
    Wages were taxed by Toledo,
    therefore a credit can be taken of 10,000.00 x .0075 = $75.00
    TAXES DUE TO GENOA – $75.00

    If the wages of 10,000 were taxed at 1%, then:

     Genoa Tax   $150.00
     Credit of .005$50.00
     TAXES DUE GENOA$100.00
  • Come into the office at 102 E Sixth Street and fill out an application for a Zoning Permit.
