BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

       Section 1. That sections 5739.02, 5747.01, and 5747.98 be 8
amended and sections 5739.40 and 5747.78 of the Revised Code be 9
enacted to read as follows:10

       Sec. 5739.02.  For the purpose of providing revenue with 11
which to meet the needs of the state, for the use of the general 12
revenue fund of the state, for the purpose of securing a thorough 13
and efficient system of common schools throughout the state, for 14
the purpose of affording revenues, in addition to those from 15
general property taxes, permitted under constitutional 16
limitations, and from other sources, for the support of local 17
governmental functions, and for the purpose of reimbursing the 18
state for the expense of administering this chapter, an excise tax 19
is hereby levied on each retail sale made in this state.20

       (A)(1) The tax shall be collected as provided in section 21
5739.025 of the Revised Code. The rate of the tax shall be five 22
and one-half per cent. The tax applies and is collectible when the 23
sale is made, regardless of the time when the price is paid or 24
delivered.25

        (2) In the case of the lease or rental, with a fixed term of 26
more than thirty days or an indefinite term with a minimum period 27
of more than thirty days, of any motor vehicles designed by the 28
manufacturer to carry a load of not more than one ton, watercraft, 29
outboard motor, or aircraft, or of any tangible personal property, 30
other than motor vehicles designed by the manufacturer to carry a 31
load of more than one ton, to be used by the lessee or renter 32
primarily for business purposes, the tax shall be collected by the 33
vendor at the time the lease or rental is consummated and shall be 34
calculated by the vendor on the basis of the total amount to be 35
paid by the lessee or renter under the lease agreement. If the 36
total amount of the consideration for the lease or rental includes 37
amounts that are not calculated at the time the lease or rental is 38
executed, the tax shall be calculated and collected by the vendor 39
at the time such amounts are billed to the lessee or renter. In 40
the case of an open-end lease or rental, the tax shall be 41
calculated by the vendor on the basis of the total amount to be 42
paid during the initial fixed term of the lease or rental, and for 43
each subsequent renewal period as it comes due. As used in this 44
division, "motor vehicle" has the same meaning as in section 45
4501.01 of the Revised Code, and "watercraft" includes an outdrive 46
unit attached to the watercraft.47

       A lease with a renewal clause and a termination penalty or 48
similar provision that applies if the renewal clause is not 49
exercised is presumed to be a sham transaction. In such a case, 50
the tax shall be calculated and paid on the basis of the entire 51
length of the lease period, including any renewal periods, until 52
the termination penalty or similar provision no longer applies. 53
The taxpayer shall bear the burden, by a preponderance of the 54
evidence, that the transaction or series of transactions is not a 55
sham transaction.56

       (3) Except as provided in division (A)(2) of this section, in 57
the case of a sale, the price of which consists in whole or in 58
part of the lease or rental of tangible personal property, the tax 59
shall be measured by the installments of that lease or rental.60

       (4) In the case of a sale of a physical fitness facility 61
service or recreation and sports club service, the price of which 62
consists in whole or in part of a membership for the receipt of 63
the benefit of the service, the tax applicable to the sale shall 64
be measured by the installments thereof.65

       (B) The tax does not apply to the following:66

       (1) Sales to the state or any of its political subdivisions, 67
or to any other state or its political subdivisions if the laws of 68
that state exempt from taxation sales made to this state and its 69
political subdivisions;70

the meals as part compensation for services performed or work 81
done;82

       (6) Sales of motor fuel upon receipt, use, distribution, or 83
sale of which in this state a tax is imposed by the law of this 84
state, but this exemption shall not apply to the sale of motor 85
fuel on which a refund of the tax is allowable under division (A) 86
of section 5735.14 of the Revised Code; and the tax commissioner 87
may deduct the amount of tax levied by this section applicable to 88
the price of motor fuel when granting a refund of motor fuel tax 89
pursuant to division (A) of section 5735.14 of the Revised Code 90
and shall cause the amount deducted to be paid into the general 91
revenue fund of this state;92

       (7) Sales of natural gas by a natural gas company, of water 93

church or organization shall be considered to be engaged in 117
business and all subsequent sales by it shall be subject to the 118

church or within an organization shall be considered to be sales 120
of that church or organization.121

in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross income, any amount 758
included in federal adjusted gross income under section 105 or not 759

because it relates to an accident and health plan for a person who 761
otherwise would be a "qualifying relative" and thus a "dependent" 762
under section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code but for the fact 763
that the person fails to meet the income and support limitations 764
under section 152(d)(1)(B) and (C) of the Internal Revenue Code. 765

       (d) For purposes of division (A)(11) of this section, 766

Revenue Code. Solely for purposes of divisions (A)(11)(a) and (c) 771
of this section, "dependent" includes a person who otherwise would 772
be a "qualifying relative" and thus a "dependent" under section 773
152 of the Internal Revenue Code but for the fact that the person 774

152(d)(1)(B) and (C) of the Internal Revenue Code.776

refund of expenses that in any year the taxpayer had deducted as 779
an itemized deduction pursuant to section 63 of the Internal 780
Revenue Code and applicable United States department of the 781
treasury regulations. The deduction otherwise allowed under 782
division (A)(12)(a) of this section shall be reduced to the extent 783
the reimbursement is attributable to an amount the taxpayer 784
deducted under this section in any taxable year.785

       (b) Add any amount not otherwise included in Ohio adjusted 786
gross income for any taxable year to the extent that the amount is 787
attributable to the recovery during the taxable year of any amount 788
deducted or excluded in computing federal or Ohio adjusted gross 789
income in any taxable year.790

       (13) Deduct any portion of the deduction described in section 791
1341(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, for repaying previously 792
reported income received under a claim of right, that meets both 793
of the following requirements:794

       (a) It is allowable for repayment of an item that was 795
included in the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for a prior 796
taxable year and did not qualify for a credit under division (A) 797
or (B) of section 5747.05 of the Revised Code for that year;798

       (b) It does not otherwise reduce the taxpayer's adjusted 799
gross income for the current or any other taxable year.800

       (14) Deduct an amount equal to the deposits made to, and net 801
investment earnings of, a medical savings account during the 802
taxable year, in accordance with section 3924.66 of the Revised 803

otherwise deducted or excluded for the current or any other 806
taxable year from the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income.807

       (15)(a) Add an amount equal to the funds withdrawn from a 808
medical savings account during the taxable year, and the net 809
investment earnings on those funds, when the funds withdrawn were 810
used for any purpose other than to reimburse an account holder 811
for, or to pay, eligible medical expenses, in accordance with 812
section 3924.66 of the Revised Code;813

       (b) Add the amounts distributed from a medical savings 814
account under division (A)(2) of section 3924.68 of the Revised 815
Code during the taxable year.816

5747.059 or 5747.65 of the Revised Code to the extent that such 818
amount satisfies either of the following:819

       (a) The amount was deducted or excluded from the computation 820
of the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income as required to be 821
reported for the taxpayer's taxable year under the Internal 822
Revenue Code;823

       (b) The amount resulted in a reduction of the taxpayer's 824
federal adjusted gross income as required to be reported for any 825
of the taxpayer's taxable years under the Internal Revenue Code.826

       (17) Deduct the amount contributed by the taxpayer to an 827
individual development account program established by a county 828
department of job and family services pursuant to sections 329.11 829
to 329.14 of the Revised Code for the purpose of matching funds 830
deposited by program participants. On request of the tax 831
commissioner, the taxpayer shall provide any information that, in 832
the tax commissioner's opinion, is necessary to establish the 833
amount deducted under division (A)(17) of this section.834

       (18) Beginning in taxable year 2001 but not for any taxable 835
year beginning after December 31, 2005, if the taxpayer is married 836
and files a joint return and the combined federal adjusted gross 837
income of the taxpayer and the taxpayer's spouse for the taxable 838
year does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars, or if the 839
taxpayer is single and has a federal adjusted gross income for the 840
taxable year not exceeding fifty thousand dollars, deduct amounts 841

spouse, or any dependent of the taxpayer, who is a resident of 844
this state and is enrolled in or attending a program that 845
culminates in a degree or diploma at an eligible institution. The 846
deduction may be claimed only to the extent that qualified tuition 847
and fees are not otherwise deducted or excluded for any taxable 848
year from federal or Ohio adjusted gross income. The deduction may 849
not be claimed for educational expenses for which the taxpayer 850
claims a credit under section 5747.27 or 5747.78 of the Revised 851
Code.852

       (19) Add any reimbursement received during the taxable year 853

the extent that the interest or dividends are exempt from state 1299
taxes under the laws of the United States, but only to the extent 1300
that such amount is included in federal taxable income and is 1301
described in either division (S)(1)(a) or (b) of this section;1302

       (5) Deduct the amount of wages and salaries, if any, not 1303

solely because the amount represents a reimbursement or refund of 1328
expenses that in a previous year the decedent had deducted as an 1329
itemized deduction pursuant to section 63 of the Internal Revenue 1330
Code and applicable treasury regulations. The deduction otherwise 1331
allowed under division (S)(9)(a) of this section shall be reduced 1332
to the extent the reimbursement is attributable to an amount the 1333
taxpayer or decedent deducted under this section in any taxable 1334
year.1335

Revised Code for that year.1350

       (b) It does not otherwise reduce the taxpayer's taxable 1351
income or the decedent's adjusted gross income for the current or 1352
any other taxable year.1353

       (a) The amount was deducted or excluded from the computation 1357
of the taxpayer's federal taxable income as required to be 1358
reported for the taxpayer's taxable year under the Internal 1359

claim the deduction provided by division (S)(12) of this section 1374
in connection with the pass-through entity's farm income.1375

        Except for farm income attributable to the S portion of an 1376
electing small business trust, the deduction provided by division 1377

extent such qualifying investment income is not otherwise part of 1462
modified business income.1463

       (4) "Modified Ohio taxable income" applies only to trusts, 1464

division (BB)(4)(b) of this section shall equal the sum of the 1488
products so computed for each such qualifying investee.1489

of the Revised Code without regard to division (A) of that 1508
section.1509

       If the allocation and apportionment of a trust's income under 1510
divisions (BB)(4)(a) and (c) of this section do not fairly 1511
represent the modified Ohio taxable income of the trust in this 1512

       (5)(a) Except as set forth in division (BB)(5)(b) of this 1516
section, "qualifying investee" means a person in which a trust has 1517
an equity or ownership interest, or a person or unit of government 1518

purpose of computing the fraction described in division (BB)(4)(b) 1521
of this section, all of the following apply:1522

        (i) If the qualifying investee is a member of a qualifying 1523
controlled group on the last day of the qualifying investee's 1524
fiscal or calendar year ending immediately prior to the date on 1525
which the trust recognizes the gain or loss, then "qualifying 1526
investee" includes all persons in the qualifying controlled group 1527
on such last day.1528

        (ii) If the qualifying investee, or if the qualifying 1529

the qualifying trust amount, more than fifty per cent of the 1537
equity of a pass-through entity, then the qualifying investee and 1538
the other members are deemed to own the proportionate share of the 1539
pass-through entity's physical assets which the pass-through 1540
entity directly or indirectly owns on the last day of the 1541
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or 1542

upper level pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year, the 1553
proportionate share of the lower level pass-through entity's 1554
physical assets that the lower level pass-through entity directly 1555
or indirectly owns on the last day of the lower level pass-through 1556
entity's calendar or fiscal year ending within or with the last 1557
day of the upper level pass-through entity's fiscal or calendar 1558
year. If the upper level pass-through entity directly and 1559
indirectly owns less than fifty per cent of the equity of the 1560
lower level pass-through entity on each day of the upper level 1561
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year in which or with 1562
which ends the calendar or fiscal year of the lower level 1563
pass-through entity and if, based upon clear and convincing 1564
evidence, complete information about the location and cost of the 1565
physical assets of the lower pass-through entity is not available 1566
to the upper level pass-through entity, then solely for purposes 1567
of ascertaining if a gain or loss constitutes a qualifying trust 1568
amount, the upper level pass-through entity shall be deemed as 1569
owning no equity of the lower level pass-through entity for each 1570
day during the upper level pass-through entity's calendar or 1571
fiscal year in which or with which ends the lower level 1572
pass-through entity's calendar or fiscal year. Nothing in division 1573
(BB)(5)(a)(iii) of this section shall be construed to provide for 1574
any deduction or exclusion in computing any trust's Ohio taxable 1575
income.1576

       (b) With respect to a trust that is not a resident for the 1577
taxable year and with respect to a part of a trust that is not a 1578
resident for the taxable year, "qualifying investee" for that 1579
taxable year does not include a C corporation if both of the 1580
following apply:1581

       (i) During the taxable year the trust or part of the trust 1582
recognizes a gain or loss from the sale, exchange, or other 1583
disposition of equity or ownership interests in, or debt 1584
obligations of, the C corporation.1585

       (ii) Such gain or loss constitutes nonbusiness income.1586
