Income Tax Rate

New Albany has an income tax rate of 2.0% on all individual earned income and corporate net profits. Please note that the tax does not apply to investment earnings and retirement income. The city provides residents with a 100% credit (up to 2.0%) for income taxes paid to other municipalities.

New Albany is a member of an income tax collection consortium – the Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA). Issues and questions regarding income tax filings may be directed to RITA at 1-800-860-7482. Click here to view a summary of New Albany’s income tax information.

RITA recently mailed non-filing letters to New Albany taxpayers who neglected to file a municipal income tax return or exemption. If you received this letter, RITA does not have record of a municipal income tax filing or exemption from you for the tax year(s) listed in the letter and RITA did not receive a response from you to the Non-Filing Income Tax Notice that was sent to you. Taxpayers can simply e-file returns to RITA at www.ritaohio.com, or by mailing or faxing the documents listed on the non-filing letter back to RITA. Those with questions can call RITA at 1-800-860-7482. Looking for information on how to upload requested documents to RITA? Learn more here.

Filing Requirements

New Albany has a mandatory filing requirement for all individuals who live within the city limits, as well as businesses operating within corporate boundaries. Businesses should withhold the appropriate city tax on wages for their employees as part of the payroll process. These withholdings are then remitted to RITA on behalf of New Albany.

Filing Deadlines

For individuals filing on a calendar year (Jan-Dec) basis, April 15 is the due date for mailing their tax return along with any additional taxes owed. For businesses filing on a non-calendar fiscal basis, the due date is the 15^th day of the fourth month following the end of their fiscal year. For example, October 15 would be the due date for businesses having a June fiscal year-end.

New Albany provides a 100% credit (up to 2.0%) to residents for income taxes paid to other municipalities.
