As of January 1, 2013, the Regional Income Tax Agency of Ohio (R.I.T.A.) will be collecting and administering income tax collection for the City of Waterville. The City of Waterville has a local income tax rate of 2%. This tax is levied on the income of residents, non-resident employees, and corporations operating within the City. Residents who work in another municipality and who have an income tax liability in that municipality may receive a credit for taxes paid to the City of Waterville, provided that the credit does not apply against the first 0.5% levied by Waterville. Specific questions can be directed to R.I.T.A. by calling 1-800-860-7482, or visiting ritaohio.com. The local income tax is the primary source of revenue for the City and provides the necessary financial support for most of the City’s departments and programs.
