A two percent municipal income tax is imposed on anyone who earns income in the City of Upper Arlington as well as residents who earn income elsewhere. An offsetting credit up to two percent is available when income tax has been paid to another municipality.
Estimated quarterly payments are required when local income tax is not automatically withheld from income, provided the annual liability is $100 or greater.
All residents aged 18 years or over must file an annual income tax return or a "
Declaration of Exemption" with the City of Upper Arlington regardless of whether any tax is due. The deadline for returns each year is April 15.
