TAX RATE CHANGE - PLEASE READ

In May of 2006 the voters of The City of Kettering approved an increase in the city’s income tax rate from 1.75% to 2.25% which went into effect on January 1, 2007. For business taxpayers filing a return with a calendar year end, this means that the net income earned or received after December 31, 2006 will be subject to the new rate of 2.25%. For business taxpayers with fiscal periods that straddle 2006 and 2007, either a blended tax rate may be applied to the entire net income for the fiscal period, or in cases where a taxpayer’s income is earned unevenly throughout the year, the actual net income for each period may be calculated and the correct rate applied to each. Please attach a statement to your return showing your calculations. The fiscal year end blended rates are as follows:
