Section 5726.04 | Amount of tax.
(A)(1) The tax levied on a financial institution other than a de novo bank organization under this chapter shall be the greater of the following:
(a) A minimum tax equal to one thousand dollars;
(b) The product of the total Ohio equity capital of the financial institution, as determined under this section, multiplied by eight mills for each dollar of the first two hundred million dollars of total Ohio equity capital, by four mills for each dollar of total Ohio equity capital greater than two hundred million and less than one billion three hundred million dollars, and by two and one-half mills for each dollar of total Ohio equity capital equal to or greater than one billion three hundred million dollars.
(2) The tax levied on a de novo bank organization under this chapter shall equal the difference obtained by subtracting one million dollars from the amount of tax that would be calculated for the de novo bank organization under division (A)(1)(b) of this section, provided that if that difference is equal to or less than zero, no tax shall be due for the taxable year.
A de novo bank organization with no tax due for a taxable year pursuant to this division shall be considered a financial institution that "paid the tax imposed by section 5726.02 of the Revised Code based on" that taxable year for the purposes of division (E)(3) of section 5751.01 of the Revised Code.
(B) If the reporting person for a financial institution files an FR Y-9 or call report, the total equity capital of the financial institution shall equal the total equity capital shown on the reporting person's FR Y-9 or call report as of the end of the taxable year. The total equity capital of all other financial institutions shall be reported as of the end of the taxable year in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
(C) For the purposes of this section:
(1) "Total Ohio equity capital" means the product of (a) the total equity capital of a financial institution as of the end of a taxable year to the extent that the total equity capital does not exceed fourteen per cent of the financial institution's total assets multiplied by (b) the Ohio apportionment ratio calculated for the financial institution under section 5726.05 of the Revised Code, except as provided in section 5726.041 of the Revised Code.
(2) "Total assets" means:
(a) In the case of a financial institution described in division (H)(1) of section 5726.01 of the Revised Code, the total consolidated assets as shown on the reporting person's FR Y-9 as of the end of the taxable year;
(b) In the case of a financial institution described in division (H)(2) or (3) of section 5726.01 of the Revised Code, the total consolidated assets as shown on the reporting person's call report as of the end of the taxable year;
(c) In the case of all other financial institutions, the total consolidated assets of the financial institution as of the end of the taxable year in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The tax commissioner may audit a reporting person's total assets to confirm the financial institution's actual total consolidated assets and may make any adjustments necessary.
(D) All payments received from the tax levied under this chapter shall be credited to the general revenue fund.
(E) The commissioner may adopt rules to provide additional guidance for the application of this section.
